Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when mixed with reeling waste
Any inclusion of silk noil or short fibers reclassifies as silk noil under 5003, distinct from clean raw filament.
If processed into textured filament yarn
Textured or synthetic-like processed silk yarn moves to Chapter 54 man-made filaments, not natural raw silk.
If for weaving after throwing
Thrown silk yarn woven into fabric shifts to 5007; raw silk remains filament only.
