Import Tips
• Obtain cashmere authenticity certificates from suppliers to support 'other' fiber classification and prevent reclassification as synthetic
• Declare value accurately excluding retail markup to minimize duties; use detailed photos in documentation
• Ensure no metal threads exceed limits, as Chapter 61 allows but requires disclosure for proper duty assessment
