Import Tips
• Provide detailed fabric breakdowns in commercial invoices; Customs scrutinizes silk claims for duty reductions
• Register for silk import quotas if applicable from certain origins like China to prevent entry refusals
• Label garments with fiber content per 16 CFR Part 423, specifying silk percentage to dodge marking violations
