Silk Shawl Collar for Women's Blouse from Mexico
This detachable shawl collar is knitted from 100% silk yarn, containing over 70% silk by weight, designed to be sewn onto women's blouses for added elegance. As a made-up knitted part of a garment, it falls under HTS 6117.90.10.60 due to its high silk content and status as a component rather than a complete accessory.

Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight with lab tests or supplier certifications to confirm classification
• Declare as 'parts' not finished accessories; include detailed invoices specifying knitted construction and end-use
• Avoid misclassification as complete scarves (6117.10); common pitfall is undervaluing luxury silk components
