Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification and fiber diameter documentation to confirm 18.5 microns or less per US chapter notes
• Provide lab test reports proving ≥85% fine animal hair content to avoid reclassification to coarser wool headings
• Label origin and composition accurately; common pitfall is under-declaring cashmere leading to penalties
