Silk-Wool Blend Blazer from Japan
A tailored women's blazer made from a wool fabric containing over 30% silk by weight, featuring a structured silhouette with notched lapels and single-breasted front. This garment qualifies as a suit-type jacket under HTS 6204.31.10 due to its wool and silk composition exceeding the silk threshold, distinguishing it from pure wool or other fiber blends in Chapter 62. It is designed for formal or business wear, not knitted.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥30% silk, as declarations must match invoices and labels per CBP rules
• Include detailed fabric breakdown on commercial invoice; misdeclaration risks penalties under 19 CFR 134
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as pure wool (6204.31.20) without silk quantification
