Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% silk via lab tests; include certificates of analysis to avoid reclassification

• Label garments clearly with fiber composition, country of origin, and care instructions per US FTC rules

• Watch for misclassification as women's if closure is right-over-left; ensure men's left-over-right design
