Import Tips
• Use detailed photos and fabric swatches in import docs to prove identical silk composition across pieces
• Watch for CBP challenges on 'suit-type jacket' vs sweater distinction; emphasize knitted sweater features
• Obtain pre-shipment rulings for complex ensembles to mitigate valuation disputes
