Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis if minor blends approach 15% non-synthetic to prevent reclassification
• Label rolls with exact weave type and gsm to facilitate customs verification against statistical notes
• Avoid selling as 'silk-like' without disclosure, as misdescription can trigger penalties
