Import Tips
• Provide silk origin certificates to distinguish from man-made imitations and comply with textile visa requirements
• Declare exact silk waste percentage if blended; over 70% shifts to silk waste subheading
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'shirt' if sleeveless, as 6106 excludes sleeveless per notes
