Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥70% silk/silk waste; discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties

• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying knitted construction, silk percentage, and women's sizing for CBP review

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as woven (Chapter 62); ensure no swimwear features to stay in this subheading
