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
