Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification under silk-specific subheading
• Include commercial invoices detailing fiber composition to prevent customs reclassification to man-made fibers
• Avoid common pitfall of importing as sets; individual garments classify separately from pajamas
