Noil Silk Spun Yarn 100% Silk Waste from China

This coarse yarn is spun entirely from silk noil, a byproduct of silk reeling containing 100% silk waste by weight, meeting the 85% threshold for HTS 5005.00.00.10. It is unbleached with the natural color of the fibers and not put up for retail sale, intended for industrial weaving or knitting applications. The high silk waste content provides a textured, matte finish ideal for apparel fabrics.

Import Tips

• Provide laboratory test reports certifying at least 85% silk or silk waste content by weight to verify classification under 5005.00.00.10

• Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail sale (e.g

• no consumer labels or small hanks under 5kg) to avoid reclassification to heading 5006

• Declare fiber processing status (unbleached/bleached/colored) accurately per subheading notes to prevent duty reassessment
