5804.10.90.10 - Containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This HTS subcategory, 5804.10.90.10, specifically classifies tulle and other net fabrics that are not woven, knitted, or crocheted, and are composed of 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. These materials are distinguished by their fine, open mesh structure, often used in decorative applications, apparel embellishments, and specialized industrial uses where the inherent properties of silk, such as its luster and strength, are desired. The classification hinges on the material composition, requiring a high percentage of silk to be included in this specific entry.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5804.10.90.90, which covers other similar tulle and net fabrics not meeting the 85 percent silk content threshold. Therefore, the precise weight percentage of silk is the critical factor in determining classification between these two "Other" subcategories within the broader category of tulles and other net fabrics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 5804.10.90.10 is final once the criteria of being a tulle or net fabric (other than woven, knitted, or crocheted) and containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste are met. Examples of goods that would fall here include delicate silk net used for veiling, ornate silk lace motifs, or fine silk netting for specialized craft applications.
