Overview

This HTS category, 5007, encompasses a wide range of woven fabrics predominantly made from silk or silk waste. This includes materials meticulously woven from pure silk filaments, as well as those derived from shorter silk fibers or damaged cocoons (silk waste). The critical factor for classification under 5007 is the material composition, with silk being the primary component by weight. These fabrics are typically used in the manufacture of apparel, home furnishings, and other textile articles where the characteristic luster, drape, and feel of silk are desired.

Unlike sibling categories in Chapter 50, which might cover raw silk, spun silk yarns, or other silk preparations, HTS 5007 specifically deals with the *woven* form of silk. It is distinct from categories in other chapters that might classify synthetic, man-made, or other natural fiber fabrics, even if those fabrics have similar weaving constructions. The classification here hinges solely on the presence and dominance of silk or silk waste within the woven structure.

Within HTS 5007, further subcategories break down the classification based on the type of silk waste and the percentage of silk content. Subheading 5007.10 is reserved for fabrics specifically made from "noil silk," a coarser silk waste product. Subheading 5007.20.00 further refines the classification for "other fabrics" that contain 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste other than noil silk, requiring careful analysis of the fabric's precise composition. The remaining "other fabrics" fall under 5007.90, typically indicating fabrics with a lower percentage of silk or a blend with other fibers where silk still predominates.
