Import Tips
• Provide detailed construction specs showing silk as outer surface to distinguish from plastic or leather alternatives
• Ensure no precious metal fittings dominate character, or reclassify to Chapter 71
• Declare value accurately, as silk luxury items often trigger higher scrutiny for undervaluation
