Silk Silk-Waste Painter's Coverall Jumpsuit from Japan
A full-body coverall jumpsuit made from knitted fabric containing over 70% silk waste, designed for painters to protect clothing from splatters and dust. It features long sleeves, full leg coverage, and a front zipper closure, qualifying under HTS 6114.90.10.50 as 'coveralls, jumpsuits and similar apparel' due to its one-piece construction and high silk waste content in Chapter 61 for knitted articles.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content lab tests confirm ≥70% silk/silk waste to avoid reclassification to lower silk headings
• Include detailed invoices specifying knitted construction and one-piece jumpsuit design for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as non-knitted (Chapter 62) which changes duty rates significantly
