Import Tips
• Verify fur origin with CITES documentation if using protected species like beaver or rabbit fur to avoid wildlife import restrictions
• Provide detailed felt composition certificates to confirm fur content over 50% for proper classification under fur felt subheading
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring the felt is unblocked and brimless; any shaping triggers reclassification to 6502
