Import Tips
• Submit weave diagrams proving satin construction, as misidentification as plain weave could lead to 5212.19 classification
• Declare exact grammage with test reports; weights near 200 g/m² often trigger CBP verification
• Label as 'not for apparel outerwear' if sold as lining to avoid principal use rulings shifting to Chapter 62
