Import Tips
• Document the silk waste percentage with a certificate of analysis to support the 85% threshold
• Verify the tote's outer surface is not covered with plastics or other materials that might alter classification
• Be aware that if the tote includes precious metal parts, it may still qualify under this heading unless those parts give it essential character
