Import Tips

• Verify the yarn is spun from non-waste silk fibers via supplier certificates to avoid reclassification under 5006

• Ensure documentation proves it's not put up for retail sale (e.g

• bulk packaging over 1kg cones) to prevent duty shifts

• Conduct fiber content lab tests if mixed with trace non-silk materials, as predominant silk rules apply per subheading notes
