Import Tips
• Obtain lab test reports verifying exact silk content (30%+ by weight) as Customs requires fiber composition documentation for blends
• Label garments with fiber content per FTC rules, specifying silk percentage to avoid reclassification during entry
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; silk blends often scrutinized for declared values matching invoices and market rates
