Import Tips & Compliance

• Document retail packaging showing ensemble as one upper + one/two lower garments to prove put-up for sale condition

• Avoid pockets below waist or tightening at bottom on components to prevent overlap with headings 6105/6106 exclusions

• Use lab tests for silk purity if blended, as subheading requires silk dominance over other textiles
