Import Tips
• Use invoices specifying silk type (mulberry or tussah) and waste content to support classification and avoid man-made fiber headings
• Monitor visa requirements for category 348; apply for licenses if quotas are filled to prevent refusal of entry
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as skirts—ensure bilateral leg openings for trousers classification
