Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% silk via lab testing; declarations must match lab reports to avoid misclassification
• Provide documentation proving fabric from headings 5903/5906/5907, such as supplier invoices and fabric specs
• Check for left-over-right front closure to confirm men's classification; watch for customs reclass to women's if ambiguous
