Import Tips
• Verify noil silk composition via lab tests; must exceed 70% silk waste fibers to qualify under 5007
• Include mill test certificates proving noil origin; subject to textile visa requirements for quotas
• Avoid misclassification as high-end silk (5007.10.20); nubby texture confirms 'other' status
