Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 70%+ silk/silk waste, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties
• Provide retail packaging proof showing ensemble components sold together to avoid separation into individual garment headings
• Label with country of origin and care instructions per FTC rules; watch for silk waste misdeclaration pitfalls
