Import Tips
• 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
