Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm 70%+ by weight, as certificates of analysis are often required by Customs
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with FTC rules, disclosing silk source to avoid misclassification penalties
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing as 'blends' if silk exceeds threshold; declare accurately to prevent duty adjustments
