Import Tips
• Document natural color status with photos and affidavits to confirm unbleached status per subheading note (a)(i)
• Use HTS 5006 only for packs under 5kg; larger quantities risk reclassification as bulk under 5005
• Pair with proper marking of '100% Silk' to prevent challenges at entry for fiber content accuracy
