Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits if vicuna content exceeds de minimis, as it's regulated fine animal hair
• Document commercial cleaning yield per US notes to substantiate clean kg for duty calculation
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as apparel fabric; ensure entry as unfinished woven material
