Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed fiber content breakdown on invoices; silk waste inclusion counts toward 70% threshold
• Check for pocket placement below waist, which could exclude from 6205 per chapter notes
• Avoid bulk packaging without retail labeling, as it may trigger reclassification as unfinished goods
