Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab tests; must exceed 70% by weight to qualify, with certificates of analysis for CBP verification
• Label as 'men's' based on left-over-right front closure per Chapter notes; include fiber content and country of origin tags
• Avoid misclassification as swimwear; ensure no water-resistant coatings that could shift to 6211.11
