Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification for wool/fine hair content to confirm 85%+ compliance per US notes
• Provide lab test reports on weight per m² and fiber composition to avoid reclassification during customs exam
• Label origin of fine animal hair (e.g
• cashmere from Kashmir goats) to meet chapter definitions and prevent undervaluation claims
