Import Tips

• 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
