Import Tips
• Label bolts with exact silk percentage and width to prevent reclassification during customs inspection
• Include commercial invoices detailing weave type (plain vs. twill) to distinguish from heading 5007.10 crepes
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on Chinese silk; use generalized system of preferences if eligible
