Men's Silk Trousers Ensemble

A knitted men's ensemble set consisting of a silk jacket and trousers, where both pieces contain 70% or more silk by weight, put up for retail sale. Classified under HTS 6103.29.2040 as it meets the definition of an ensemble with trousers as the lower garment component made predominantly of silk. The matching fabric construction, style, color, and size ensure proper classification in this subheading.
