Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 70%+ silk/silk waste, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules, specifying silk waste percentage and country of origin
• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as pure silk (6208) if blended; provide knit structure documentation
