Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If rectangular and exceeds 60 cm in any dimension
Chapter notes specify square/approx. square under 60 cm for 6213; larger or non-square silk items go to scarf headings in 6214.
If containing 70% or more silk by weight
Specific subheading 6213.90.10 applies to higher silk content; 'other' covers lower silk waste blends.
If knitted or crocheted
Chapter 62 excludes knitted articles (to Chapter 61); knitted silk handkerchiefs would classify there.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide invoices specifying 'silk or silk waste' and fiber percentage; U.S
• Customs requires proof to avoid misclassification to cotton (6213.10)
• Avoid retail packaging that suggests scarf use, as it could trigger reclassification under 6214 if over 60 cm
