Import Tips
• Verify silk content with lab tests or supplier certifications to confirm 70%+ by weight, as required for this subheading
• Include detailed fiber composition labels and invoices specifying 'handkerchief' use to avoid reclassification as scarves
• Watch for square dimensions; if any side exceeds 60cm, it may shift to heading 6214 as a scarf
