6214.10.10.00 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This HTS classification covers woven articles such as shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar accessories that are predominantly made of silk or silk waste. Specifically, this subheading applies to items where the silk or silk waste content constitutes 70 percent or more by weight of the total composition. These items are designed for wear and are typically characterized by their decorative or functional use in covering the head, neck, or shoulders.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6214.10.20.00 (Other), is crucial. While both subheadings fall under the broader category of "Of silk or silk waste," this specific subheading (6214.10.10.00) is reserved for those products where the silk content is exceptionally high, exceeding 70% by weight. The sibling category would encompass silk or silk waste items with a lower silk percentage or those that do not meet the 70% threshold, potentially including blends with other fibers where silk is not the dominant material.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 6214.10.10.00. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes under this code is solely on the material composition and the product type as described. Importers and exporters should carefully review the fiber content of their silk accessories to ensure accurate classification based on the predominant material.
