Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight with lab tests; require certificates from suppliers to avoid reclassification
• Label garments clearly with fiber content, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC and CBP rules
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as cotton blends, which shifts to lower silk headings and lower duties
