Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm 70%+ silk/silk waste, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide detailed weave specifications to prove non-knitted/crocheted construction, distinguishing from Chapter 61
• Include care labels specifying hand-wash only to meet FTC requirements and avoid common import holds
