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
