Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥30% silk in man-made base, as required for this subheading; discrepancies lead to reclassification

Label garments clearly with country of origin, fiber composition, and care instructions per FTC and CBP rules to avoid holds

Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as sweater vests, which shift to other subheadings; provide knit pattern samples if audited
