Import Tips

Verify fiber content lab tests showing 70%+ silk to qualify; declarations under 734 statistical suffix require precise documentation

Ensure coating aligns with heading 5903/5907 fabrics; misclassification as pure silk (Ch.50) is common without proof

Label as recreational outerwear, not industrial, to avoid Chapter 62 suit/blouse headings
