Import Tips
• Declare exact weight percentages of silk vs. silk waste on commercial invoices for accurate duty assessment
• Use non-woven silk waste blends carefully; test to ensure total silk content meets 70% threshold
• For bulk imports, separate from apparel to prevent ensemble misclassification under suit/ensemble notes
