Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing; must exceed 70% by weight to qualify, as customs scrutinizes fiber blends closely
• Provide coating details if fabric from 5903/5906/5907; declare as 'other garments' to avoid misclassification as outerwear
• Avoid common pitfall of importing as sets; single jackets classify here, ensembles may shift to 6204 or 6211
