Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥30% silk, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties under CBP rules
• Include detailed invoices specifying silk percentage and synthetic base to avoid reclassification during customs exam
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with FTC textile rules, noting silk blend to prevent common undervaluation pitfalls
