Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide origin certificates for silk; non-Asian sources may qualify for lower duties under trade agreements

• Photograph garments for CBP review; capes risk misclassification as accessories if not clearly coats

• Avoid sets with trousers; ensembles trigger 6203 or 6210 precedence per notes
