Import Tips
• Verify fiber content lab tests confirm ≥70% silk to avoid reclassification to lower silk subheadings
• Include coating process documentation for heading 5903 fabrics to prove tariff shift compliance
• Label as women's garments with right-over-left closure; avoid unisex designs to prevent women's heading disputes
