Import Tips
• Obtain silk authenticity certificates; CBP tests for weighted silk which may trigger different duties
• Declare as 'shorts' not skirts; culottes must cover lower body without divided skirt features
• Include mothproofing declarations if treated, as silk requires specific pesticide residue checks
