Capes of wool or fine animal hair for women or girls are explicitly named within heading 620220 alongside overcoats and cloaks. There is no separate heading for capes; the garment type is subsumed within this heading. The key classification questions are fiber composition (wool/fine animal hair vs. other fibers) and whether the article is knitted — knitted wool capes would fall under Chapter 61 rather than Chapter 62.

CBP may request fiber content test reports, manufacturer's affidavits, or laboratory analysis confirming the percentage of cashmere (Pashmina goat fiber) by weight. The Textile Fiber Products Identification Act also requires accurate fiber labeling on the garment itself. For high-value cashmere entries, importers often commission independent laboratory testing before shipment to preempt admissibility questions at the port.
