Import Tips

• Label fiber content clearly per FTC rules; silk must be pure or predominantly silk to avoid duty shifts

• Provide washing instructions and care labels compliant with U.S. standards to pass customs scrutiny

• Avoid pockets below waist or ribbed cuffs, as these exclude from suit-type jacket definitions in notes
