Import Tips & Compliance

Verify silk content via lab tests meeting 70% threshold; provide certificates of analysis to Customs for classification

Ensure ensemble is packaged together for retail sale with matching fabric swatches to prove identical composition

Avoid misdeclaration as separate garments; common pitfall leads to reclassification under 6204.19 for lower silk content
