Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide certificates of origin for cashmere to substantiate fine animal hair content and prevent reclassification to synthetic materials
• Label clearly as 'recreational performance outerwear' on packaging and docs to distinguish from casual vests
• Check for right-over-left closure to confirm women's/girls' classification per Chapter notes
