Import Tips
• Label with precise animal hair type (e.g
• cashmere) and quilting specs; customs may require affidavits for 'fine hair' claims
• Avoid selling as 'upholstery sets' with fittings to prevent shift to Chapter 94 furniture parts
• Check for uniform padding distribution in samples to prove 'assembled with padding by stitching' criterion
