Embroidered Silk Pencil Skirt from Mexico
A fitted pencil skirt knitted from yarn containing 70% silk, with subtle embroidery that does not alter its essential character as a skirt. It is a made-up knitted article for women, classifiable under the 'other textile materials' provision of heading 61.04, as silk is not an artificial fibre and no more specific heading applies.

Import Tips
• Confirm the skirt is knitted or crocheted and made up, as required by Chapter 61
• Declare the silk content and embroidery details to CBSA, ensuring the embroidery is incidental and does not change classification
• Keep records of the fibre composition and origin for duty assessment
