Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of authenticity for cashmere to prove fine animal hair content, preventing disputes over tariff shift from cotton/man-made
• Label garments clearly as 'women's' with right-over-left closure; ambiguous designs default to women's per chapter notes
• Check for seasonal duty preferences under GSP or free trade agreements for wool imports from eligible countries
