6006.90.10.00 - Containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste 🖩

This HTS category, 6006.90.10.00, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted fabrics that are composed of 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This classification applies to fabrics where silk is the dominant component, making it a distinct subcategory based on material composition within the broader group of "Other knitted or crocheted fabrics."

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 6006.90.90.00 ("Other"), it is crucial to note that this code is reserved solely for silk-rich fabrics. The sibling category would encompass all other knitted or crocheted fabrics not meeting the 85% silk content threshold, including those made from a blend of materials where silk is present but not predominant, or fabrics made entirely from other fibers.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6006.90.10.00 is definitively determined by the fiber content analysis demonstrating a silk percentage of 85% or higher by weight. Examples of such fabrics could include luxurious silk charmeuse or crepe de chine knit fabrics intended for apparel or home furnishings.
