Import Tips
• Source CITES documentation for vicuna (Appendix II species) alongside fiber certificates for customs clearance
• Rare fiber demands third-party assay for species identification to prevent fraudulent coarse hair substitution
• Declare exact clean yield; luxury fibers command premium pricing sensitive to yield-based duty calculations
