Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing (ASTM D6280) to confirm ≥30% by weight for accurate classification
• Provide detailed yarn composition and value documentation; invoices must prove valuation over $33/kg
• Avoid misclassification as pure silk (5007) by documenting artificial filament base yarn
