Pure Silk Pocket Handkerchief from Germany

A finely woven square handkerchief made from 100% mulberry silk, designed for pocket use with hand-rolled edges. It falls under HTS 6213.90.07.00 as a handkerchief of silk or silk waste, other than specific excluded types, in Chapter 62 for made-up textile articles excluding knitted ones. Measuring under 60 cm per side, it qualifies as a handkerchief rather than a scarf.

Import Tips

• Verify silk content via lab tests or supplier certificates to confirm classification under silk or silk waste; blends over 50% silk stay here

• Ensure dimensions do not exceed 60 cm per side to avoid reclassification as scarves in 6214; measure precisely including hems

• Include country-of-origin markings on packaging; common pitfall is mislabeling as cotton, leading to audits
