Silk Silk-Waste Blend Windbreaker Jacket from China

This women's windbreaker jacket is made from a fabric containing over 70% silk or silk waste, featuring a lightweight shell with drawstring hood and zippered pockets, designed for casual outdoor wear. It falls under HTS 6211.49.50.80 as a jacket-type garment of other textile materials (silk-dominant), excluded from heading 6202 due to its sporty, non-tailored construction not qualifying as a woven suit jacket. The right-over-left closure confirms women's classification.

Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥70% silk/silk waste, as declarations understate risks penalties

Provide detailed fabric construction specs and closure photos to CBP for women's classification confirmation

Avoid misclassifying as 6202 if sporty features present; document exclusion from tailored jacket criteria
