Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 50%+ non-silk textiles, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties
• Include detailed invoices specifying material breakdown, including linings, for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as silk if trace silk is present; strict weight threshold applies
