Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing; declarations must match invoices to avoid reclassification
• Provide fiber content labels compliant with FTC rules; silk waste blends require precise documentation
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as knitted (Chapter 61); ensure no pockets below waist for Chapter 62 exclusion
