5408.32.30.00 - Containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, valued over $33 per kg (618)

This HTS category, 5408.32.30.00, specifically classifies dyed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that contain 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, and have a value exceeding $33 per kilogram. These fabrics are derived from materials covered under heading 5405, indicating they are manufactured from artificial filament yarn. The key distinguishing features for classification within this subcategory are the substantial silk content and the specified value threshold.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 5408.32.90, which covers other dyed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that do not meet the 30% silk content or the over $33 per kg value criteria. Therefore, if a dyed woven fabric of artificial filament yarn has less than 30% silk or silk waste, or if it has 30% or more silk but is valued at $33 per kg or less, it would fall under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions within 5408.32.30.00 hinge entirely on the material composition (30% or more silk or silk waste) and the declared value per kilogram (over $33). This precise definition ensures accurate tariff application for these specific types of high-value silk-blended artificial filament woven fabrics.
