Import Tips

• Provide supplier affidavits on silk waste usage if blended, as CBP scrutinizes 'silk waste' claims for authenticity

• Photograph embroidery/lace components for entry records to substantiate classification over plain silk bras

• Avoid bulk packaging without retail labeling, as it risks reclassification from finished goods to parts
