Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing with invoices to confirm >30% by weight for accurate classification
• Provide detailed value documentation as duties apply only if over $33/kg; undervaluation risks penalties
• Ensure printing is on both sides or as specified to avoid misclassification under unprinted headings
