Import Tips
• Obtain a certificate of origin verifying silk waste content to avoid misclassification as higher-duty continuous filament yarn
• Ensure yarn is not packaged in consumer-ready units exceeding 1 kg per note 5 to section XI to maintain 'not put up for retail sale' status
• Test for bleaching/dyeing per subheading note (a)-(c); colored waste yarn remains here unless printed for retail
