Import Tips

• Verify silk purity with lab tests or certificates of origin, as blends over 2% other fibers shift to Chapter 52-55 per subheading note (a)

• Ensure retail packaging includes consumer labels for fiber content, care instructions, and country of origin to meet U.S

• Customs requirements

• Avoid misclassification as bulk yarn (5005) by providing invoices showing per-unit retail pricing and small pack quantities
