Import Tips

• Provide certificates of authenticity for mulberry silk to support ≥70% claim during CBP examination

• Ensure country-of-origin marking on labels (e.g

• 'Made in China') per 19 CFR 134 to prevent marking violations

• Avoid bulk packaging; present as retail-ready to prevent reclassification as unfinished goods
