Import Tips

Verify silk content via lab testing certificate to confirm 70%+ by weight, as required for this subheading; discrepancies can lead to reclassification

Include detailed fiber composition labels and country of origin documentation, as silk imports often face quotas or additional scrutiny

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as blends under 70% silk, which shifts to 6204.69.40; declare accurately to prevent penalties
