Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 85% by weight through lab testing to confirm classification under 5007
• Provide certificates of origin for silk sourcing, as quotas may apply to certain silk-producing countries
• Avoid misclassification as apparel fabric by specifying end-use as bulk yardage, not pre-cut garment pieces
