Import Tips
• Provide weave structure details (e.g
• plain weave) to distinguish from knits and support Chapter 62 classification
• Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclared silk content; use certified test reports from accredited labs
• For high-value silk blends, consider bonding or duty drawback programs to manage cash flow
