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.
