Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm 70%+ silk, as certificates of analysis are often required by customs
• Include detailed invoices specifying silk percentage and construction method to avoid reclassification to lower headings
• Beware of common pitfalls like trimming with non-textile materials, which could shift classification if exceeding allowable limits
