Import Tips
• Obtain supplier affidavits confirming silk or silk waste origin to support valuation and preferential duty claims
• Check for right-over-left closure to confirm women's classification; ambiguous cuts default to women's per notes
• Document construction as woven (not knitted) to prevent reclassification during CBP exam
