Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content lab tests show 70%+ silk/silk waste; declarations must match exactly to avoid reclassification

• Confirm outer fabric from headings 5602/5903 etc

• provide coating specs; common pitfall is misstating PU coating weight

• Label as women's via right-over-left closure; ensure no pockets below waist to avoid 6204 conflict
