Import Tips
• Submit documentation certifying alpaca as fine animal hair per chapter note (b); common error is classifying as coarse hair
• Ensure tapestry pattern documentation if challenged, as it distinguishes from plain upholstery
• Bond may be required if entered as 'wool for special uses' but used differently, per US note (d)
