Import Tips
• Ensure documentation specifies end-use as lining to differentiate from apparel in Chapters 61-62
• Conduct fiber content analysis; blends dropping below 85% silk reclassify under mixed textile notes
• Avoid bulk packaging without labels; retail-ready rolls may trigger 'made up' classifications
