Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight with lab tests or supplier certificates to meet HTS 6203.29.3030 specifics
• Label garments clearly with fiber composition and country of origin; include invoice detailing ensemble components
• Avoid misclassification as separate items—declare as ensemble if sold as a set to prevent reclassification penalties
