Import Tips
• Obtain country-of-origin certificates for fine animal hair to qualify for preferential tariffs under trade agreements
• Label with precise fiber breakdown (e.g
• 100% alpaca) to comply with FTC textile rules and prevent penalties
• Avoid bulk packaging that might suggest industrial use, which could trigger alternative classifications
