Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab tests; US Customs requires certificates for claims over 70% silk to prevent undervaluation penalties
• Label garments clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP rules
• Avoid classifying as suit jackets (6203); ensure design emphasizes outerwear use like button-front closure
