Import Tips

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

• Provide detailed invoices specifying silk waste usage if applicable, and ensure 'made up' status excluding knitted articles

• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient origin documentation for silk sourced from multiple countries
