5111.90.30.00 - Containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, valued over $33/kg (410)

This HTS category, 5111.90.30.00, specifically classifies woven fabrics composed primarily of carded wool or carded fine animal hair that contain 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Crucially, these fabrics must also have a value exceeding $33 per kilogram to fall within this classification. This segment is designed for blends where silk is a significant component, influencing both the fabric's properties and its market value.

Within the broader heading of "Other" woven fabrics of carded wool or carded fine animal hair, this subcategory distinguishes itself by the explicit requirement for a substantial silk content and a specified high value threshold. Other "Other" categories at this level would likely cover fabrics with different primary fiber compositions, lesser silk content, or lower valuations that do not meet the criteria outlined here. The combination of material blend and value is the defining characteristic for goods classified under 5111.90.30.00.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of a fabric under this code hinges entirely on meeting the stipulated material composition (at least 30% silk or silk waste by weight) and the value threshold (over $33/kg). Importers and exporters should carefully assess the fiber content and the declared value of their silk-containing wool or fine animal hair woven fabrics to ensure correct classification.
