Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify all ensemble components use identical silk yarn construction and are packaged together for retail sale to qualify under this heading

• Provide lab test reports confirming 100% silk fiber content, as misdeclaration to synthetic blends can lead to reclassification and penalties

• Label garments clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to avoid holds at entry
