Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 85% by weight via lab testing; provide certificates of origin for potential duty reductions under silk-producing countries
• Document end-use as necktie production with buyer contracts to justify specific subheading; declare exact width and warp count on entry
• Avoid misclassification as broader silk fabric by specifying high warp density (>47/cm); common pitfall is incorrect yarn count measurement
