Import Tips
• 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
