Silk-Filled Women's Ski Coveralls from Japan

These women's coveralls are made with an outer shell and filled with silk fibers exceeding 70% by weight, designed for recreational skiing with full-body coverage including bib and braces. They classify under HTS 6210.50.22.30 as women's overalls/coveralls from fabrics of heading 5602 (felt or nonwovens with silk fill) used in recreational performance outerwear. The silk-dominant fiber content and non-knitted construction place them in this specific subheading.

Import Tips

• Provide documentation proving recreational performance use, as industrial versions shift to different codes

• Label garments clearly as women's (right-over-left closure) to prevent unisex disputes
