Import Tips
• Verify noil silk composition via lab tests; must exceed 85% silk by weight to avoid reclassification to man-made fiber blends
• Include textile visa certificates for wool restraint category 410 to prevent entry refusal at US ports
• Label bolts with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC rules to avoid marking penalties
