Silk Wide-Leg Palazzo Pants from Japan
Flowing women's palazzo pants crafted from 92% silk and 8% elastane, with an elastic waistband for comfort. This HTS code applies due to the predominant silk content (over 70%) and classification as women's trousers in Chapter 62 for non-knitted textile garments. They meet the criteria for breeches and shorts exclusion as full-length trousers.

Import Tips

• Provide mill certificates for silk authenticity to prevent undervaluation claims during customs valuation
• Watch for reclassification if elastane exceeds limits—document exact blend percentages
