Silk Noil Waste from Japan
Silk noil waste consists of short, tangled fibers produced during silk reeling or throwing operations. These fibers are unsuitable for high-quality yarn production but are valuable for manufacturing coarser textiles, such as spun silk blends or felts. Under tariff item 5003.00.00, this product qualifies as silk waste, including yarn waste and garnetted stock.
