Import Tips
• Use ISF filings 24 hours pre-loading for silk apparel to avoid fines up to $30,000 per violation
• Conduct pre-import classification rulings from CBP for high-value silk dresses to mitigate assessment risks
• Beware of transshipment schemes; declare true origin to prevent antidumping duties on silk products
