Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing and provide certificates to confirm 70%+ by weight, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Label garments clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements
• Avoid common pitfalls like declaring as 'other textile' if silk dominates; ensure not sold as sets to prevent ensemble classification
