Women's Blue Denim Skinny Jeans from Japan

These women's skinny jeans are crafted from blue denim fabric, featuring a slim fit through the leg and designed for everyday casual wear. They qualify under HTS 6204.62.80.11 as women's trousers made specifically of blue denim (color 348), not part of a suit or ensemble. The five-pocket styling and zip fly confirm classification as trousers rather than swimwear or other garments.

Import Tips

• Verify denim color matches 'blue denim (348)' via lab testing to avoid reclassification; include color swatch documentation

• Label fiber content accurately as over 50% cotton per US FTC rules; declare weight precisely for duty calculation

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as 'stretch denim' if spandex exceeds limits, triggering alternative HTS
