Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 70%+ silk, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties
• Include detailed invoices specifying knitted construction and silk percentage to avoid scrutiny under Chapter 61 notes
• Beware of mislabeling as scarves; ensure it's presented as a garment accessory, not heading 6117
