Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥30% silk or silk waste by weight, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties

Include detailed composition labels and invoices specifying 'vest, other than sweater vest' to avoid reclassification

Ensure no ribbed waistband or drawstring at bottom, per Chapter 61 notes, to stay out of other headings
