Import Tips

• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing; provide certificates of origin for silk to claim preferential duties

• Label as 'recreational performance outerwear' with fiber content per FTC rules; ensure no knitted construction to stay in Chapter 62

• Avoid misclassification as ski-suits under 6211 by confirming it's a single jacket, not a set or overall
