Import Tips
• Verify silk/noil content via lab testing to confirm ≥85% as per subheading notes; retain certificates for customs
• Provide weave structure documentation proving non-jacquard to avoid reclassification to 5007.10.40
• Measure width precisely pre-shipment; discrepancies can lead to duty adjustments or penalties
