Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm ≥70% by weight, as required for this subheading
• Provide detailed fiber composition labels and certificates of origin for silk to avoid misclassification
• Ensure garments meet knitted/crocheted criteria; woven versions shift to Chapter 62
