Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification under silk subheading
• Provide detailed fabric composition labels and invoices specifying non-knitted weave to avoid reclassification to Chapter 61
• Ensure garment lacks pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands to prevent exclusion from heading 6211
