Import Tips

Verify silk content exceeds 70% via lab tests or supplier certificates to confirm classification under silk provisions

Label products with fiber content and country of origin per FTC and CBP rules to avoid misclassification penalties

Avoid common pitfalls like importing as sets; individual ties classify here, but bundled with shirts may shift to ensemble rules
