Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content exceeds 70% silk via lab tests, as certificates are required for silk HTS classifications

Label garments clearly with fiber composition, country of origin, and care instructions to meet FTC and CBP standards

Avoid misclassifying as sweater vests; ensure no full knitting pattern resembling pullovers to prevent reclassification
