Import Tips
• Verify silk content exceeds 70% by weight with lab tests or supplier affidavits to qualify for this HTS subheading
• Label garments clearly as swimwear with fiber content; common pitfall is classifying as casual shorts under 6203
• Check for right-over-left closure if ambiguous, but swimwear cut typically confirms men's classification
