Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify silk content via lab tests (e.g
• ISO 1833) to confirm ≥70% for this classification; misdeclaration risks penalties
• Include commercial invoice detailing fiber composition, country of origin, and HTS code; silk requires CITES if involving wild silk
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as cotton blends—pure silk shorts must not have synthetic linings exceeding 30% weight
