Import Tips
• Provide invoices specifying exact silk waste or fiber content to meet the 70% threshold requirement
• Use care labels indicating '100% silk' and dry-clean instructions to pass CBP examinations
• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent, as it may be reclassified from accessories to raw fabric
