Import Tips
• Use HTS advisory rulings for unique silk blouse designs to preempt disputes on blouse vs. other garment status
• Ensure no metal thread exceeds ornamental limits, as Chapter 62 allows but may trigger special scrutiny
• Batch imports by color/fiber lot for consistent duty application and easier inventory reconciliation
