Import Tips
• Verify silk content through lab testing to confirm 85%+ by weight for accurate HTS classification and avoid misdeclaration penalties
• Include detailed fiber composition labels and certificates of origin, as silk products often qualify for preferential duty treatment under trade agreements
• Watch for common pitfalls like under-declaring silk percentage or confusing braid construction with woven textiles, which could shift classification
