5007.90.60 - Other

This HTS category, 5007.90.60, encompasses woven fabrics of silk or silk waste that do not fall under the specific classification for fabrics containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (5007.90.30). It broadly covers "other" woven silk fabrics, implying those with a lower silk content or those that are a blend where silk is present but not the predominant component. The key criterion for inclusion here is the presence of silk or silk waste as a component of the woven fabric, but not meeting the higher percentage threshold of its sibling category.

To further refine classification within this "other" category, subcategories exist to address specific trade regulations and restrictions. These subdivisions are crucial for accurate customs declaration and duty assessment, particularly when dealing with textiles subject to international trade agreements or quantitative limits. The presence of these subcategories indicates that the physical composition and intended use, as well as potential import/export controls, become differentiating factors.

The subcategories of 5007.90.60 are designed to segregate fabrics based on the type of restraints they might be subject to. This includes fabrics that are "Subject to wool restraints," indicating a blend where wool is a significant component and thus falls under specific wool trade regulations. Alternatively, fabrics classified as "Other" within this subcategory represent those not subject to wool restraints, but still meeting the general criteria for woven silk or silk waste fabrics of lower silk content.
