Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify silk content via lab testing (ASTM D629 or ISO 1833) as certificates of origin are scrutinized for silk waste blends
• Include detailed production process documentation proving mechanical manufacture, not hand-crocheted, to avoid reclassification
• Label with fiber content and country of origin per 19 CFR 134; common pitfall is undervaluation due to luxury silk pricing
