Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab tests (e.g
• ASTM D6721) to confirm ≥70% for this classification; misdeclaration risks penalties
• Provide commercial invoice detailing fiber composition, country of origin, and construction method (woven, not knitted)
• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as part of a full suit set, which may shift to 6203.11 if meeting 'suit' criteria
