Import Tips
• Require certificates of origin proving cashmere from Kashmir goats to distinguish from common goat hair excluded from fine animal hair definition
• Document combing process to differentiate from carded fine hair fabrics in 5111, ensuring proper Chapter 51 placement
• Test for vegetable matter content; excessive impurities may require clean yield adjustment affecting duty calculation
