Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the handkerchief is made of other textile materials (e.g., cotton or man-made fibres) rather than silk or silk waste.
This sibling item covers handkerchiefs of other textile materials, which would apply if the silk content does not meet the tariff item's requirement.
If the handkerchief has any side exceeding 60 cm, making it a scarf or shawl rather than a handkerchief.
Chapter Note 8 specifies that square articles with sides over 60 cm are classified under heading 62.14, not 62.13.
If the handkerchief is made entirely of cotton, not silk or silk waste.
This heading covers cotton handkerchiefs, which would be an alternative if the silk content is negligible or absent.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the handkerchief is made up (e.g
• hemmed or embroidered) and not simply cut to size, as this affects classification
• Verify the silk waste content and that no other textile material predominates by weight, per Section XI Note 2
• Declare the correct value in Canadian dollars, including any royalties or commissions, to avoid CBSA penalties
