Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥30% silk and wool dominance, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling and provide weave certificates to distinguish from knitted Chapter 61 items
• Avoid pockets below the waist or ribbed waistbands, as these exclude classification from headings 6205/6206
