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
