Import Tips

• Verify pile composition via lab testing to confirm over 50% alpaca hair weight, as certificates of analysis are often required by customs

• Provide detailed weaving process documentation proving hand-insertion to avoid reclassification to machine-made carpets

• Label origin accurately, noting alpaca sourcing from Peru or Bolivia, to comply with textile fiber content rules and prevent penalties
