Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm silk composition over 70% for accurate HTS classification and labeling under FTC rules
• Ensure country-of-origin marking on labels; silk from China often faces additional Section 301 tariffs
• Avoid misclassification as shirts by confirming no full front opening; document design specs for CBP review
