Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests as silk must exceed 70% to avoid reclassification; provide mill certificates for customs
• Note category 348 restraints may trigger quotas or higher duties; check U.S
• ITC for current limits before shipping
• Label garments with country of origin and care instructions per FTC rules to prevent delays at entry
