Import Tips
• Confirm 'fine animal hair' status (alpaca qualifies per chapter notes) with origin certificates
• Label packages clearly as 'for retail sale' with usage instructions to distinguish from industrial yarn
• Avoid mixing with common goat hair, which disqualifies from 'fine' classification
