Shawls, Scarves, Mufflers, Mantillas & Veils of Silk or Silk Waste, Not Knitted or Crocheted

Classification depends on which fiber predominates by weight. If silk or silk waste accounts for 70% or more of the total fiber weight, the article classifies under 6214.10 (line 6214101000). If silk is present but below 70% and wool or fine animal hair is the chief fiber, the article would more likely fall under heading 6214.20. For blends where neither fiber clearly dominates, the GRI essential character analysis and CBP's classification notes apply, and a binding ruling may be advisable.

Woven silk scarves from certain origins may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the country of manufacture. Importers should verify the current status of any applicable trade-remedy orders for the specific country of origin, as these measures can change and are applied in addition to the base MFN duty rate.
