Import Tips
• Include detailed weave analysis and fiber composition reports; silk waste blends must still meet 85% threshold
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics industrial rolls, as retail-ready cuts may trigger different valuation
• Check for impregnation/coating which excludes from Chapter 58 per chapter notes, shifting to Chapter 59
