Import Tips
• Ensure Customs review of ensemble criteria; submit photos proving identical fabric construction and retail set packaging
• Declare exact silk waste inclusion if any, as 'silk or silk waste' affects 70% threshold calculation
• Avoid bulk shipping; ensembles must be put up for retail sale to prevent classification as separate items
