Wool-Blend Silk Blouse from Germany
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
