Import Tips
• Lab test for clean yield (US note (b)) to prove ≥85% pure cashmere excluding 12% moisture and impurities
• Avoid pitfall of declaring as 'wool' only; specify fine animal hair type for accurate chapter note compliance
• Include end-use statement for upholstery to prevent shift to apparel fabric headings
