Import Tips

Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm 70%+ threshold; provide affidavits or invoices as proof for CBP scrutiny

Ensure ensemble components are packaged together for retail sale with matching labels to avoid reclassification as separate garments

Obtain textile import visas if from quota countries; watch for common pitfalls like misdeclared fiber blends leading to penalties
