Import Tips

• Verify the yarn is spun exclusively from silk noil or waste via mill certificates to avoid reclassification as finer silk yarn under 5004

• Confirm not put up for retail sale (e.g

• no consumer packaging over 5kg); bulk spools or cones are compliant

• Provide lab tests confirming natural silk waste origin and absence of bleaching/dyeing to meet subheading note (a) for unbleached yarn
