Embroidered Silk Shawl from Germany

A hand-embroidered pure silk shawl with over 70% silk content, used for cultural attire. The embroidery is secondary to the shawl's function, so it falls under tariff item 6214.10.90 as 'Other' silk shawls.

Import Tips

• Ensure the shawl is not considered a garment with pockets or other features that could reclassify it

• The embroidery does not affect classification, but the silk content must be over 70%

• Include a clear product description and fibre composition on customs documents
