Import Tips
• Document exact silk fiber content (e.g
• 100% mulberry silk) with lab tests; pitfalls include blends exceeding silk thresholds
• Confirm corresponding sizes between top and skirt to qualify as ensemble; separate sizing may trigger individual HTS codes
• Use customs rulings for complex silk weaves; ensure no metal thread exceeds ornamental limits per chapter notes
