A women's blouse made from a blend of 40% wool, 50% silk, and 10% man-made fibers, featuring a collared neckline and long sleeves with button cuffs. It falls under HTS 6206.40.25 because it is a non-knitted blouse of man-made fibers containing 36% or more wool by weight, designed for women with right-over-left closure. The wool content provides warmth while man-made fibers ensure durability.

Import Tips

Provide detailed fiber content breakdown via lab tests to verify 36%+ wool, as man-made fibers dominate but wool threshold triggers this subheading

Label garments clearly with country of origin and care instructions to meet US FTC textile rules and avoid CBP holds

Avoid classifying as pure wool (6206.10) if man-made exceeds 64%; common pitfall is misstating composition leading to penalties
