Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% and confirm unbleached status per subheading note (a) to avoid reclassification as bleached yarn fabric
• Provide mill test certificates authenticating pure mulberry silk origin and woven construction for customs valuation
• Note wool restraint quota (410); monitor USITC quota status to prevent entry refusal during fill periods
