Import Tips

• 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
