Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥70% silk, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification and penalties
• Include detailed yarn composition and country-of-origin certificates, especially for silk sourced from multiple countries
• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as pure cashmere blends under 6110.12 if silk exceeds threshold
