Men's Silk Cargo Shorts from Canada
These men's cargo shorts are made from 100% silk fabric, featuring multiple pockets and a relaxed fit suitable for casual wear. They fall under HTS 6203.49.60.30 as shorts containing 70% or more silk or silk waste, classified as men's or boys' shorts of other textile materials (silk). The high silk content and non-swimwear design match the chapter notes for Chapter 62 made-up textile articles.

Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab tests (e.g
• ISO 1833) to confirm ≥70% for this classification; misdeclaration risks penalties
• Include commercial invoice detailing fiber composition, country of origin, and HTS code; silk requires CITES if involving wild silk
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as cotton blends—pure silk shorts must not have synthetic linings exceeding 30% weight
