Shawls, Scarves, Mufflers, Mantillas & Veils of Wool or Fine Animal Hair, Not Knitted or Crocheted

CBP and the FTC require that fiber-content claims on imported textile articles be accurate and verifiable. For a scarf to be labeled and classified as cashmere or fine animal hair, the importer should obtain fiber-identity test reports (typically using microscopy or IWTO-standard testing) from the manufacturer or an accredited laboratory. Mislabeling coarser wool as cashmere is a known compliance risk in this product category, and CBP may request supporting documentation at entry.

Generally yes, provided the chief fiber remains wool or fine animal hair and the article functions as a scarf or shawl. Decorative fringe, embroidery, or woven border patterns do not typically change the heading classification, though they may affect the applicable 10-digit line if the heading were subdivided by such features. Since 6214.20 has a single 10-digit line in the current US schedule, the classification is straightforward once the fiber identity is confirmed.
