Import Tips
• Confirm crocheted stitch density and silk purity via lab tests, as impurities could reclassify to man-made fibers
• Label clearly as 'ensemble' on invoices with component matching details to meet HTS set criteria
• Avoid drawstrings or ribbed waistbands on lower garments, as these exclude from ensemble headings per notes
