Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight with lab tests; declarations must match invoices to avoid penalties
• Label as 'women's or girls' garment' based on right-over-left closure; include fiber content per FTC rules
• Avoid classifying as baby garment if height exceeds 86cm; check Chapter 62 notes for size exclusions
