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
