Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

6207.19Higher: 23% vs 13.4%

If woven rather than knitted

Woven silk underpants shift to Chapter 62 for non-knitted apparel, changing the heading structure.

6107.19Same rate: 13.4%

If silk content under 70% but over 50%, like silk-cotton blends

Lower silk percentage moves it to the subheading for other textile materials with reduced silk proportion.

If sold as part of a knitted clothing set for retail

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm 70%+ threshold; invoices must specify exact fiber composition

• Label garments with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements

• Avoid misclassification as woven by ensuring knits have at least 10 stitches per cm; provide knit swatches if audited
