Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 85% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification under 5007.90.30.20
• Measure fabric width precisely before import; discrepancies can lead to reclassification to narrower subheadings
• Include mill certificates proving non-jacquard weave and silk origin to avoid customs disputes
