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
