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
