Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 100% silk or silk waste, as blends may shift classification to other subheadings

• Include detailed invoices specifying silk type and 'subject to wool restraints (440)' for quota compliance and customs clearance

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling closure direction, which determines women's vs. men's classification per Chapter notes
