Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm 70%+ by weight, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties
• Include detailed yarn specifications (decitex <67) and fiber composition certificates in documentation
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as synthetic; ensure 'made up' knitted status is evident
