Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 100% fine animal hair like cashmere, as blends may shift classification
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'knitted or crocheted headgear of fine animal hair' to avoid reclassification
• Watch for country-of-origin rules; cashmere from China often incurs higher duties—consider FTAs for reductions
