Import Tips
• Provide mill certificates proving silk waste origin to comply with textile visa requirements for restraint category 639
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed waistband to avoid exclusion from headings 6105/6106
• Label correctly as 'shirt-blouse' if featuring full opening; mislabeling risks reclassification
