6302.99.10.00 - Containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste 🖩

This HTS classification, 6302.99.10.00, specifically addresses made-up textile articles intended for household use, such as bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, and kitchen linen, that are composed of 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This signifies a high silk content as the primary defining characteristic for classification within this subcategory. Examples would include silk pillowcases, silk duvet covers, silk tablecloths, or silk napkins where the silk constitutes the overwhelming majority of the material.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. For instance, HTS code 6302.99.15.00 covers similar household linens but specifically made from flax. Therefore, the primary differentiator here is the material composition, with 6302.99.10.00 exclusively for high-silk content items, whereas 6302.99.15.00 is for flax-based items. The remaining sibling, 6302.99.20.00, serves as a residual category for "Other" household linens not specifically enumerated elsewhere under the "Of other textile materials" heading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions under this code will therefore hinge on the precise determination of the silk content by weight and the intended use of the textile article as household linen. If the silk content falls below 85%, or if the article is not a type of bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, or kitchen linen, it would likely be classified under a different HTS code.
