What HS code 5005 covers
The Harmonized System, kept by the World Customs Organization, gives this product one code: 500500.
Silk waste itself has its own heading, 5003. Once that waste is spun into yarn, you look at 5005, 5004 or 5006.
Two questions decide whether a product belongs here. First, was the yarn spun from silk waste? If the first answer is yes and the second is no, heading 5005 is the one to check.
Silk noil yarn, bourette yarn and other search terms
People use many names for this kind of yarn. You may see spun silk yarn, silk waste yarn, silk noil yarn, bourette yarn or silk hard waste spun yarn.
These are common search terms. This page does not decide which of them fit a given lot of yarn. The official wording in the code table above is the safest guide. If you are unsure, test your product description in the HS code classifier before you file or quote.
5005 vs 5003, 5004 and 5006: choosing the right heading
The silk headings follow the stages of the material. Check the stage first, then check the packaging.
The gap between 5004 and 5005 is the source of the yarn. Heading 5005 covers yarn that is. The gap between 5005 and 5006 is packaging.
- This is raw material, not yarn.
