Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 70%+ silk, as declarations must match HTS criteria to avoid misclassification penalties
• Provide detailed set packaging photos showing retail presentation and matching fabric swatches for ensemble validation
• Avoid common pitfalls like separating components in shipment, which could reclassify as individual garments
