Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥70% silk, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties
• Include detailed yarn composition certificates; silk waste blends must be documented precisely
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'pure silk' if blended, ensuring accurate country-of-origin marking
