Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab tests meeting 70% threshold; provide certificates of analysis to Customs for classification
• Ensure ensemble is packaged together for retail sale with matching fabric swatches to prove identical composition
• Avoid misdeclaration as separate garments; common pitfall leads to reclassification under 6204.19 for lower silk content
