Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing certificates to confirm 70%+ threshold; discrepancies lead to reclassification and penalties
• Include detailed embroidery/lace invoices as proof for HTS 6212.10.30.00 subheading; generic descriptions trigger audits
• Label products with fiber content per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds at entry
