Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content is 100% silk or silk waste via lab tests; certificates of authenticity from suppliers prevent reclassification

Label garments clearly with country of origin, fiber content, and care instructions to meet US FTC and CBP requirements

Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as cotton blends, which shifts to lower silk subheadings and incurs penalties
