Women's Wool-Blend Artificial Fiber Trousers from Japan

These women's trousers are crafted from a blend containing over 36% wool or fine animal hair by weight, with the remainder artificial fibers like viscose or rayon, designed for formal or business wear. They qualify under HTS 6204.69.22.10 as women's trousers of artificial fibers with significant wool content, not knitted or crocheted, and excluding swimwear. The high wool percentage provides warmth and structure while artificial fibers add durability and drape.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm at least 36% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties

• Include detailed invoices specifying artificial fiber type (e.g

• viscose) and wool percentage, plus country of origin documentation for preferential duty treatment

• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect gender classification; ensure left-over-right closure or women's cut to stay in women's headings
