Import Tips
• Test for silk waste content inclusion, as it counts toward 70% threshold; keep lab reports handy
• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands on lower garment to avoid exclusion from heading 6104
• Declare as ensemble on commercial invoice to match entry summary and prevent piece-rate duties
