The lightweight, breathable fabric makes it ideal for layering in transitional weather.

Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥30% silk, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification and penalties

Include detailed composition labels and country-of-origin certificates, especially for silk blends subject to quotas

Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as pure man-made fiber (6110.30.10) without silk verification
