Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm 70%+ silk; declare accurately to avoid reclassification
• Provide ensemble packaging proof (retail set) and match Chapter 61 suit/ensemble definitions exactly
• Label country of origin and care instructions; watch for undervaluation audits on luxury silk imports
