5007 — Woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste
Chapter 50: Silk
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5007 when importing woven fabrics made from silk or silk waste. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of silk scarves, this heading is likely applicable. It covers various silk fabric types, including those made from noil silk and other silk blends.
When deciding between subheadings, consider the silk content. HS-6 500710 is specific to woven fabrics made from noil silk, which is a shorter fiber with a more textured finish. If your fabric contains 85% or more silk, lean towards HS-6 500720. For mixed or less common silk compositions, use HS-6 500790.
If you're unsure about your fabric's silk content, testing might be necessary. Fabrics with less than 85% silk by weight fall under HS-6 500790, which covers those not specifically classified elsewhere in this heading. Accurate classification is crucial for compliance and duty rates.
