Import Tips
• Verify fiber content lab tests show 70%+ silk/silk waste; declarations must match exactly to avoid reclassification
• Confirm outer fabric from headings 5602/5903 etc
• provide coating specs; common pitfall is misstating PU coating weight
• Label as women's via right-over-left closure; ensure no pockets below waist to avoid 6204 conflict
