Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm 85%+ threshold; provide certificates of authenticity from suppliers
• Ensure fabric width exceeds 30 cm to avoid reclassification as narrow woven fabrics under 5806
• Declare as greige or finished goods accurately; common pitfall is mislabeling as apparel-ready which shifts to Chapter 62
