Import Tips
• Require supplier certifications for fine animal hair type (Kashmir goat) matching chapter note definitions
• Document loom width with manufacturing specs to prevent disputes over the 76 cm threshold
• Avoid blending with non-qualifying fibers; even small admixtures may disqualify 85% threshold
