Import Tips
• Obtain silk waste origin certificates if using blended waste; CBP scrutinizes non-reeled silk claims
• Ensure no orthopedic features (e.g
• rigid supports) to avoid exclusion to heading 9021 per chapter notes
• Batch test for flammability (16 CFR 1610) as lingerie; non-compliance leads to refused entry
