Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥30% silk by weight, as required for this subheading; discrepancies lead to reclassification

• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying silk percentage, wool type, and garment construction to avoid delays at customs

• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules for fiber content and country of origin to prevent penalties
