Silk Ensemble Blouse and Trousers Set from Mexico
This women's ensemble consists of a silk blouse and matching trousers, both containing over 70% silk by weight, designed for retail sale as a coordinated set. It qualifies under HTS 6204.29.4076 as an ensemble of silk textile materials with a blouse component, per Chapter 62 notes defining ensembles as sets with upper and lower body garments in identical fabric. The high silk content and non-knitted construction place it in this specific subheading.

Import Tips
• Verify silk content via lab testing to confirm 70%+ by weight, as declarations must match HTS criteria to avoid reclassification
• Provide set packaging documentation showing retail presentation with blouse and trousers of identical fabric, color, and size
• Label fiber content accurately per FTC rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring silk blends leading to penalties
