Import Tips
• Obtain third-party fiber analysis reports proving silk dominance to support customs valuation and prevent audits
• Declare as 'handbag with shoulder strap' explicitly; mislabeling as backpack could redirect to different subheadings
• Ensure braid is recognized as such—flat woven silk might classify under non-braid textile codes, increasing duties
