Import Tips

• Verify silk content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification under silk-specific subheading; blends may shift to other textile categories

• Provide detailed invoices specifying silk or silk waste origin and construction to avoid reclassification during customs exam

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as cotton/synthetic blends, which could trigger audits and penalties
