Women's Artificial Silk Bermuda Shorts from China

These knee-length Bermuda shorts are knitted from artificial fibers like viscose, designed for casual summer wear with an elastic waistband. They fall under HTS 6104.69.20.60 as women's shorts (other than swimwear) made of artificial textile materials, not part of a suit or ensemble. The garment lacks features like drawstrings or ribbed waistbands that would shift classification.

Import Tips

Verify fiber content is over 70% artificial fibers (e.g

viscose, rayon) via lab tests to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to cotton blends

Label garments clearly with fiber composition, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent customs holds

Avoid importing with matching upper garments in sets, as this could classify as an ensemble under 6104.32, increasing duties
