Silk Noil Spun Yarn from Canada
This yarn is spun from silk noil, a short-fiber byproduct of silk reeling, resulting in a textured, slubby yarn suitable for weaving fabrics like shantung. It falls under HTS 5005.00.00 as it is yarn spun from silk waste (noil), not put up for retail sale, and lacks bleaching, dyeing, or printing per subheading notes. Primarily used in industrial textile production.

Import Tips
• Verify the yarn is spun exclusively from silk noil or waste via mill certificates to avoid reclassification as finer silk yarn under 5004
• Confirm not put up for retail sale (e.g
• no consumer packaging over 5kg); bulk spools or cones are compliant
• Provide lab tests confirming natural silk waste origin and absence of bleaching/dyeing to meet subheading note (a) for unbleached yarn
