Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify silk content via lab tests to confirm ≥70% silk or silk waste for accurate classification and avoid reclassification to lower silk categories

• Include detailed fiber composition labels and certificates of origin, as silk imports often require additional scrutiny from CBP

• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'silk blend' if under 70%, leading to duties under 6108.99.20
