Silk Baby Bib from Japan
A delicate knitted silk baby bib with 72% silk, designed for infants under 86cm height as a protective garment. Although prima facie for heading 6111 per notes, its silk content and 'other garment' status place it in HTS 6114.90.10 when not exclusively baby-classified. It remains a made-up knitted article of high silk proportion.
