Import Tips & Compliance

Verify silk content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification; blends under 70% may shift to 6204.62

Include fiber content labels and invoices specifying 'silk or silk waste' to avoid reclassification during customs exam

Avoid pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands, as these exclude from 6204 per chapter notes, risking shift to 6210
