Woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste: other fabrics, containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or of silk waste other than noil silk
Analysis
HTS 5007.20.00 covers woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste: other fabrics, containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or of silk waste other than noil silk under heading 5007 (woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 7 ten-digit suffixes, reported in square metres and kilograms.
Within this group the rate runs from 0.8% to 3.9%. Compared with 5007.90.60 (other fabrics: other), which pays 3.9%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 3.9 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 90% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 90% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 62% of the 13 tariff lines in chapter 50, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The ten-digit suffixes separate measuring less than 77 cm in width or…, more than 127 cm in width, measuring less than 77 cm in width or… and more than 127 cm in width. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
