Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as raw silk fiber, not yet spun into yarn
Unspun silk in hanks or tops is 5003; spinning completes yarn classification.
If textured or bulked synthetic yarn imitating Tussah silk
Man-made high-tenacity yarn mimics under Chapter 54, not natural silk.
If directly incorporated into knotted carpet pile yarn sets
Yarn in retail carpet sets may classify by end article under Chapter 57.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include lab analysis showing no bleaching or dyeing processes to uphold unbleached status
• Avoid retail-like packaging; use industrial cones/hanks to stay in 5004
• For Tussah, confirm non-waste origin as wild silk can blur with noil categories
