Import Tips
• Submit affidavits certifying 'wholly or in part' fine animal hair from animals like alpaca per chapter note (b)
• Check for carbonized fibers if applicable, as clean yield definition changes per US note (c)
• Avoid common pitfalls like undeclared blends dropping below 85% threshold, triggering lower headings
