Import Tips
• Label fabrics clearly with fiber content and country of origin to comply with Textile Fiber Products Identification Act
• Watch for misdeclaration of silk percentage, a common pitfall leading to audits; retain supplier certificates
• Confirm no printing processes were used post-weaving to stay in the 'dyed' subheading
