HS Code 5007Woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste

HS code 5007 explained

Heading 5007 is where finished silk cloth lives. If a roll of fabric was woven mainly from silk threads, check this heading first.

People search for it in many ways: silk fabric HS code, silk fabric HSN code, HSN code 5007 or HTS 5007. All of these point to the same heading. Customs offices use the code to sort goods. Traders use it to find shipments of one product.

Silk waste fabrics and noil silk fabric both sit inside this heading. Noil is the short, rough fibre left over when silk is combed. Cloth woven from it is kept apart from other silk cloth.

HS 5007 subheadings: 500710, 500720, 500790

The heading splits in a simple way. Each code answers one question about the cloth.

• 500710: use it when the cloth is woven from noil silk.
• Most fine silk cloth fits here.
• 500790: the catch-all. It takes woven silk fabrics that fit neither of the other two codes.

How to choose the right 5007 code

Work through three questions in order. Stop at the first yes.

Then use 500710. Then use 500720. Third, is it a woven silk fabric that fits neither case? Then use 500790.

That answers the common question about 500720 versus 500790. The first code has a clear test on silk content. The second code takes whatever woven silk cloth falls outside that test.

Check the fibre content on the mill report or the invoice before you decide. If you are still unsure, the HS code classifier can narrow it down.

Where 5007 sits among the silk headings

The silk chapter follows the material from the worm to the cloth. Heading 5007 is the last step, and everything before it is a raw material or a thread.

Cocoons come first, in heading 5001. Yarn packed for retail sale, plus silk-worm gut, is in 5006.

Once threads are woven into cloth, the goods move up to 5007. This is also the fabric stage inside the wider textiles section, which runs from silk through to made-up articles.
