Import Tips

Verify yarn color composition via lab testing to confirm 'different colors' status per subheading note (c), avoiding reclassification to single-color HTS

Include silk waste content certification in documentation, as noil silk derives from silk waste, and declare under cotton/man-made restraints accurately

Watch for quota limits under textile restraints; apply for licenses early to prevent delays at customs
