Classification of silk blouses

CN code 620610 covers women's and girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses of silk or silk waste, other than knitted or crocheted. Natural silk is an animal fiber produced by silkworms (Bombyx mori). Classification requires silk to be the predominant fiber by weight. Silk blouses represent a premium segment of women's clothing. The heading covers formal, business, and casual blouses from woven silk. A blouse is a garment covering the upper body, with or without sleeves, with or without fastening. Unlike a shirt, a blouse may lack a collar and front fastening.

Regulatory requirements and silk authenticity

Silk blouses are subject to labeling requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. Natural silk requires authenticity confirmation, as it is sometimes substituted with cheaper synthetic fibers imitating its hand feel. Customs authorities may take samples for microscopic analysis - silk has a characteristic triangular cross-section. REACH requirements apply to acid dyes used for silk, formaldehyde, and nickel. The GPSR requires traceability and risk assessment. Decorative elements must meet mechanical safety requirements.

Import and trade in silk blouses

Silk blouses imported into the EU originate mainly from China and India - the world's largest silk producers. Origin rules require double transformation. Customs documentation must describe the product as a silk blouse with fiber composition and authenticity confirmation. Imports from China and India may benefit from GSP preferences subject to origin rules. High-value silk blouses may face enhanced customs value verification.

Silk blouses - classification and preferential rates

CN 6206 10 covers women's blouses and shirts of natural silk or silk waste, made from woven fabric. This is the only subheading in heading 6206 assigned to a specific natural fibre (silk). The erga omnes duty rate is 8%, lower than for blouses of other materials. Major silk exporters are China, India and Vietnam. Silk blouses are classified here regardless of weaving technique (satin, chiffon, crepe). A certificate of origin is required for preferential rates.

Frequently asked questions

How to distinguish natural silk from artificial silk in customs classification?

Is a silk-polyester blend blouse classified under 620610?

Is a women's silk shirt classified under 620610?

Yes. Heading 6206 covers women's blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses. A women's silk shirt is classified under 620610, regardless of whether it has a collar and front fastening.
