Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 85% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification under 5007; provide certificates of origin for preferential duty treatment
• Ensure accurate width measurement (>127 cm) on commercial invoice; mismeasurement can lead to reclassification
• Label with fiber content and country of origin per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds at entry
