Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm outer shell is 70%+ silk by weight, including documentation from manufacturer
• Label products accurately with fiber content per FTC rules; common pitfall is misclassifying due to high lining weight
• Ensure invoices specify 'woven silk tie' to avoid reclassification as knitted (Chapter 61)
