Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of origin for cashmere to claim preferential tariffs and prove fine animal hair content
• Declare exact dozen units on entry; cravats often bundled differently than standard neckties
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as scarf if over 60cm square—measure precisely per chapter notes
