5005 — Yarn spun from silk waste, not put up for retail sale
Chapter 50: Silk
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5005 when importing yarn spun from silk waste that is not packaged for retail sale. For example, if you're importing bulk silk yarn made from leftover silk fibers for textile manufacturing, this code applies.
When deciding between HS-4 5005 and other silk yarn codes, consider whether the yarn is made from waste. If it’s pure silk yarn not derived from waste, you would need to look at different headings. Ensure your product's composition aligns with the definition to avoid misclassification.
If your shipment includes silk yarn that is packaged for retail sale, you must use a different code. HS-4 5005 strictly covers yarn not intended for retail, so check your packaging and intended market before proceeding.
