Import Tips
• Obtain cashmere certification to substantiate 'fine animal hair' claims; misdeclaration risks penalties under wool regulations
• Specify sleeveless and padded in commercial docs to differentiate from sleeved jackets in 6202.20.10
• Check for metal thread embroidery, allowed in Chapter 62 but requires detailed material breakdown
