Woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste
21 declarable lines
Heading 5007 covers woven fabrics made of silk or of silk waste, whether from noil silk or other silk waste. It splits first by fabric type: noil silk (5007.10), other fabrics with 85% or more silk or silk waste other than noil (5007.20), and all remaining silk fabrics (5007.90). Within each group the lines turn on weight content, jacquard versus not jacquard, width, whether printed, and whether the fabric falls under cotton, man-made fiber or wool restraints.
