Import Tips & Compliance

Use ISF filings early for high-value silk imports; common issue is incorrect statistical suffix (759) leading to delays

Provide weave structure proof (not knit) and silk origin docs for preferential tariffs if applicable

Avoid set packaging with pants/shirts to prevent ensemble classification; ship individually
