Import Tips
• Conduct fiber burn tests if challenged on silk purity, as chiffon's sheerness invites scrutiny
• Declare exact width on commercial invoice; over/under can trigger 5007.90.10 or duty adjustments
• Avoid retail packaging; bulk rolls classify better under woven fabrics than apparel Chapter 62
