Import Tips
• Provide origin certificates for silk to confirm non-woven fabric status and compliance with Chapter 62 made-up articles
• Avoid bulk packaging; present as retail-ready to fit 'other garments' under 6211, preventing set reclassification
• Document as 'recreational' use to differentiate from orthopedic or workwear exclusions
