Pashmina shawls are NOT banned. The confusion comes from mixing up Pashmina with Shahtoosh — two very different things.
Shahtoosh shawls — made from the endangered Tibetan antelope — are globally banned under CITES. Pashmina has nothing to do with this.
Pashmina' is often used loosely for any soft shawl — even synthetic ones. When Shahtoosh gets seized, people blame Pashmina.
The wool is obtained by combing or shearing the Changthangi goats during the molting season when they naturally shed their winter coats.
