Import Tips
• Confirm 'fine animal hair' status via fiber analysis, as Alpaca qualifies per chapter note (b)
• Declare exact weight per m² and provide weave structure details to substantiate tapestry classification
• Avoid common pitfall of insufficient bonding for special use wool if repurposed beyond upholstery
