Import Tips
• Use detailed photos and sketches in entries to confirm 'trousers' vs. 'breeches' distinction for accurate statistical reporting
• Silk waste blends require fiber content disclosure; non-compliance leads to penalties under 19 USC 1592
• Bundle with matching ensembles carefully—separate if not meeting exact 'ensemble' criteria in notes
