Silk Silk-Waste Ensemble Trousers
These women's trousers are part of a knitted or crocheted ensemble set, containing 70% or more silk waste by weight, paired with a matching silk upper garment for retail sale. They qualify under HTS 6104.29.2040 as ensemble trousers of silk-rich fabric, excluding swimwear, with identical fabric construction, style, color, and size compatibility as defined in Chapter 61 notes. The high silk waste content drives the specific subheading classification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content lab tests confirming 70%+ silk or silk waste to avoid reclassification to lower silk subheadings

• Include care labels specifying 'dry clean only' for silk, as mislabeling can trigger FDA or customs holds
