Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight with lab test certificates to qualify for this subheading and avoid reclassification
• Include detailed fabric composition labels and country-of-origin documentation to comply with US textile import rules
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as lower silk blends, which could shift to general accessory codes
