Import Tips
• Verify the waste consists of cocoons unsuitable for reeling via supplier certification to confirm HTS 5003.00.10.00 classification
• Provide detailed documentation on origin and processing state, as carded/combed waste shifts to 5003.00.90
• Check for contamination with non-silk materials, which could trigger reclassification under chapter notes for mixed textiles
