Import Tips
• Submit fiber content affidavits distinguishing alpaca as fine animal hair per chapter notes to validate classification
• Conduct pre-shipment weight tests to prove >400 g/m², as underweight may trigger lighter fabric subheadings
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as combed; carded processing defines this 5111 category
