Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification; provide fiber content labels compliant with FTC rules
• Note wool restraint (448) quota; apply for license via OTEXA if applicable, even for silk products
• Avoid misdeclaration as cotton blends to evade duties; common pitfall leads to penalties
