Import Tips
• Label per ASTM D3930 for silk waste content; discrepancies lead to 10-20% duty increases or seizures
• For sets, declare as ensemble only if matching lower garments per note (b); otherwise, classify individually
• Pre-classify via CBP rulings (e.g
• NY N123456) to mitigate delays at ports like LAX or JFK
