Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 85% by weight via lab testing; certificates of origin from silk-producing countries like China are essential
• Ensure woven structure documentation; crinkled or noil silk variants fall elsewhere
• Avoid misclassification as apparel by importing in bulk yardage, not pre-cut pieces
