Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm 70%+ threshold; invoices must specify fiber composition

• Include certificates of origin for potential silk-specific trade agreements reducing duties

• Avoid misclassification as full scarves over 60cm sides, which may shift to HTS 6214
