Import Tips

• Conduct pre-shipment fiber burns tests to prove silk content, as visual inspection often fails CBP audits

• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification—retail-ready dresses must not mimic industrial shipments

• Declare exact silk waste usage if applicable, as it counts toward the 30% threshold per tariff terms
