Import Tips

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
