Import Tips
• Submit stitch density samples if questioned, ensuring compliance with knitted/crocheted definitions
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'ensemble' with itemized matching pieces to prevent disassembly at entry
• Beware of silk waste blends; require supplier affidavits for pure silk to dodge duty evasion claims
