You should be okay provided that is what the actual weight is.
How many of us calculate the weight of the trailer every time we load up, especially the distribution fore to aft? It is possible to load up the trailer under its GVWR and still have an as-weighed tongue weight that is "mysteriously" much heavier than expected. My light tongue weight is stated as 638# and with essentially nothing in the trailer I took it to the scales and it showed 200# more. I have reserve on my bars so I am not worried, but I still have to pay attention since one must also consider the truck's axle weight.
