Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥70% silk, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties

• Include detailed fabric composition and construction specs in invoices to avoid customs scrutiny on 'recreational performance' claim

• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules; silk waste blends must be accurately disclosed to prevent misdeclaration
