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
