Import Tips
• Obtain invoices specifying silk type (mulberry or tussah) and waste content to support valuation and classification claims
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands, as these exclude from related headings per Chapter notes
• Declare statistical suffix 847 accurately for trousers/breeches to match CBP data requirements
