Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm 70%+ threshold; invoices must specify exact fiber composition
• Include care labels in English per FTC rules and ensure 'men's' sizing for correct classification
• Avoid misdeclaring as knitted (Chapter 61) to prevent audits; provide weave structure documentation
