Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing as per INV 54 note 2 to confirm 30%+ by weight for accurate classification
• Provide detailed invoices showing valuation over $33/kg and fiber composition to avoid reclassification to lower-value subheadings
• Ensure dyeing is uniform and not printed, as printed variants fall under 5408.33
