Import Tips
• Provide detailed yarn composition breakdowns from suppliers to substantiate the 70% silk threshold during customs valuation
• Avoid pockets below the waist or ribbed hems, as these could trigger reclassification under headings 6105/6106 exclusions
• Register for CTPAT if importing frequently to expedite clearance and reduce examinations on high-value silk goods
