Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 70%+ silk, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties

Provide detailed set packaging documentation showing retail presentation to qualify as an ensemble rather than separate garments

Ensure labels indicate country of origin and fiber composition per FTC and CBP requirements to avoid holds at customs
