Import Tips
• Provide dyeing process records if colored, as subheading note (c) distinguishes colored yarn but keeps it in this retail code
• Label skeins clearly as '100% silk' to comply with FTC fiber content rules and prevent misclassification
• Watch for bulk packaging errors; retail 'put up' status requires consumer-ready units under 5kg per note definitions
