Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥30% silk or silk waste by weight, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties

• Include detailed composition labels and invoices specifying 'vest, other than sweater vest' to avoid reclassification

• Ensure no ribbed waistband or drawstring at bottom, per Chapter 61 notes, to stay out of other headings
