Import Tips
• Provide invoices specifying exact silk percentage and weave type to avoid disputes over 'other textile materials' classification
• Comply with US silk import licensing if applicable; prepare for potential visa requirements under textile agreements
• Watch for pitfall of classifying as skirts if divided style; ensure trouser cut is clearly documented
