Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify silk content exceeds 70% via lab tests for Chapter 62 classification; declare as 'silk or silk waste' accurately

β€’ Include performance features documentation (e.g

β€’ water-repellency specs) to justify 'recreational performance outerwear' subheading

β€’ Avoid misclassification as swimwear or casual pants; ensure no swim-specific features like quick-dry liners
