Import Tips
• Label fiber content accurately on packaging; U.S
• Customs requires proof of >=70% silk for this high-duty subheading
• Document retail set packaging to distinguish from individual trousers, preventing split classification
• Watch for bleaching or weighting in silk; excessive treatments can disqualify 70% natural silk content claim
