Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm 70%+ silk for this HTS; mislabeling leads to reclassification
• Include commercial invoice detailing silk percentage, yarn construction, and 'knitted' status
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as sweater vests, which shift to other subheadings
