Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm 85%+ silk/silk waste, as required for this subheading; retain certificates for CBP review
• Ensure proper marking as 'made in [country]' and fiber content label per FTC rules to avoid detention
• Avoid classifying as finished bedding under 9404 if not upholstered or fitted, a common misclassification pitfall
