Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 70%+ silk, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide coating process documentation to prove fabric falls under heading 5906, avoiding shifts to Chapter 59
• Label as 'men's' based on left-over-right closure; include care instructions for silk blends
