Wool Silk Blend Necktie

A classic men's necktie made primarily from wool with a silk blend, featuring a woven pattern for formal wear. It falls under HTS 6215.90.00.10 as a tie of wool or fine animal hair, not knitted or crocheted, distinct from bow ties or cravats. The wool content dominates, qualifying it for this specific subheading in Chapter 62 for made-up textile articles.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify wool or fine animal hair content exceeds 50% via lab tests for accurate classification under 6215.90.00.10

• Include detailed fiber composition on invoices and labels to avoid reclassification to man-made fiber subheadings

• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; provide retail packaging proof if sold as sets to prevent duty adjustments
