Silk Silk-Waste Leggings from Canada
These women's leggings are knitted from a blend containing over 70% silk waste, offering a luxurious drape and breathability ideal for casual wear. They qualify under HTS 6104.69.40.20 as they are trousers or breeches made predominantly of silk waste, excluding swimwear, and designed for women with right-over-left closure. The high silk content determines the classification within Chapter 61 for knitted apparel.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥70% silk/silk waste; discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties
• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying knitted construction, silk percentage, and women's sizing for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as woven (Chapter 62); ensure no swimwear features to stay in this subheading
