Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing; invoices must specify exact composition to avoid reclassification
• Include performance features documentation (e.g
• water resistance tests) to justify 'recreational performance outerwear' status
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules, listing fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions
