Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing; declare accurately to avoid reclassification to lower silk categories
• Provide ensemble packaging proof (retail set) and matching fabric swatches to confirm identical construction per HTS notes
• Ensure left-over-right front closure for men's classification; watch for mislabeling as women's (right-over-left)
