Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab tests to confirm 70%+ by weight, as certificates of analysis are often required by CBP
• Label garments clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions to avoid detention at ports
• Avoid classifying as parts if sold individually; ensure no bib or brace features to stay out of overalls subheading
