Import Tips
• Use AATCC testing for silk percentage accuracy; discrepancies trigger reclassification or duties
• Provide photos/patterns showing no ribbed waist or low pockets to affirm 6206 eligibility
• For luxury blends, include mill certificates to avoid disputes on 'fine animal hair' vs. coarse wool
