Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 70%+ silk, as under-declaration risks reclassification and penalties

Provide detailed invoices specifying knitted construction and silk percentage to avoid scrutiny under silk-specific rules

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as woven (Chapter 62), which changes duty rates significantly
