Silk Blend Sleeveless Shirt from Canada
An elegant sleeveless shirt-blouse of 75% silk and 25% cotton, with a collared neckline and button front for semi-formal occasions. It qualifies for HTS 6211.49.50.50 as a high-silk-content upper body garment excluded from 6206 (no waist pockets or ribbing). Chapter notes place such prima facie blouse alternatives in 6211 for other garments.

Import Tips
• Conduct independent fiber content analysis; blends near 70% threshold often trigger CBP reclassification
• Declare as 'other garments' explicitly if features exclude from 6206; include photos in entry docs
• Watch for ensemble packaging—retail sets may classify under different 6211 subheadings
