Import Tips
• Conduct pre-shipment classification rulings from CBP for high-value silk to mitigate audit risks
• Segregate shipments by fiber purity to avoid commingling with cotton/silk blends triggering dual restraints
• Include size charts showing women's fit (right-over-left closure) per chapter gender notes
