Last updated: September 2026 dataWoven neckties and cravats of silk or silk waste are among the most granularly subdivided accessories in Chapter 62, with four active 10-digit lines distinguishing shell composition, silk content thresholds (e.g., greater than 70% silk by weight), and the presence of other textile materials. Italy and France dominate supply, reflecting the deep integration of luxury silk neckwear into European fashion houses; China is also a significant source, and its goods remain subject to Section 301 tariffs. Correct classification hinges on whether the outer shell or the entire article — including lining and interlining — meets the silk-content threshold.

The US schedule distinguishes ties where the outer shell contains greater than 70% silk by weight (6215100040) from those where the article as a whole — including lining — contains greater than 50% other textile materials (6215100025), with a residual NESOI line (6215100090) for remaining configurations. Importers should obtain fiber content breakdowns for both the shell and lining separately to determine the correct line.
Italy is a European Union member, and silk neckties of Italian origin are not currently subject to Section 301, Section 232, or active antidumping/countervailing duty orders in the US. Standard MFN rates apply, though importers should verify current CBP guidance, as trade-remedy landscapes can change.
