Importers of Woven Fabrics Containing 85% or More Silk or Silk Waste (Excluding Noil Silk) paid $312K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $2.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Woven Fabrics Containing 85% or More Silk or Silk Waste (Excluding Noil Silk) imports of $3.3M in April 2026 ran 15% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.9M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPremium woven silk fabrics at or above the 85% silk-content threshold — excluding noil — are among the most duty-sensitive textile lines in Chapter 50, with the US schedule carving out dedicated lines for necktie-use fabrics (5007200015 and 5007200055), printed fabrics by width (5007200025 and 5007200035), and non-Jacquard fabrics by width (5007200065 and 5007200085). South Korea leads US imports under this heading, with Italy and India also prominent suppliers. The necktie-use designations are end-use provisions, so importers must be prepared to document the intended application to support classification in those specific lines.

End-use provisions like the necktie-use lines under 500720 typically require the importer to demonstrate that the fabric is dedicated to necktie production — for example, through purchase orders, manufacturing agreements, or fabric specifications matching standard necktie constructions. CBP may require a bond or certification, and the fabric must actually be used for that purpose within a specified period. Consulting a licensed customs broker before entry is advisable.
Several 10-digit lines under 500720 split at 127 cm: fabrics wider than 127 cm and those at or below that width fall into separate tariff lines. Width is measured in the greige or finished state as presented at entry, so importers should verify the actual roll width against the applicable threshold before filing.
