One order, not two
Rugs count toward the same $500 as the alpacas do, so a shop can put six rugs and forty minis on one quotation and one shipment.

Alpaca fur rugs, 100 by 65 cm
An alpaca fur rug is a hundred by sixty-five centimetres of natural fur, in the same eight shades the toys run in, from the same workshop and the same sorting. Three kilos each. They count toward the same minimum as everything else, so a rug order and a toy order are one order.

A different line on your customs entry
A rug is an article of furskin and a stuffed alpaca is a toy, so they sit in different chapters of the tariff. Importing from Peru.
### What it is ###
Peruvian alpaca rugs: fur, not a weave
An alpaca fur rug is the natural coat of one animal, backed and finished at the edge. A woven alpaca rug is made from spun yarn.
A woven rug can be dyed to any colour and made to any pile height. A fur rug keeps the colour and the pile of the animal, so the eight shades are the natural shades the herds give.
No two rugs are the same, because each is one animal. An order of forty rugs in the light shades is routine.
Clean it on the surface and never soak it. How to wash alpaca fur.

Alpaca rug questions
A hundred by sixty-five centimetres, and about three kilos. One rug is one animal, so the shade is whatever that animal was.
Eight, light to dark: Sahara, Blond, Sandstone, Hazelnut, Caramel, Walnut, Chocolate and Cacao. The darkest rugs are the rarest, because a near black coat is uncommon and a rug takes a great deal of one colour.
Yes, toward the same $500 an order as everything else. A shop can put six rugs and forty minis on one quotation and one shipment.
Shake it and air it, which is most of the maintenance. Vacuum on the lowest setting with no beater bar, in the direction of the pile, and never soak it. It is fur, so it is cleaned on the surface rather than washed through.
