Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥70% silk, as certificates are required for duty qualification
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules specifying silk percentage and country of origin
• Avoid misclassification as dresses if hemline exceeds knee; measure precisely to prevent CBP reclassification
