U.S. imports of woven fabrics of noil silk (HS 500710) totaled $1.1M in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Woven Fabrics of Noil Silk paid $23K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 2.0% on $1.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Woven Fabrics of Noil Silk imports of $1.1M in April 2026 ran 203% above the year-to-date monthly average of $363K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataNoil silk — the short-fiber byproduct of silk reeling — produces a matte, textured woven fabric distinct from the lustrous goods made from continuous filament silk, and that material distinction drives its separate heading in the US tariff schedule. The eight 10-digit lines under this heading divide primarily by silk-content threshold (85% or more versus less than 85%) and by width, with additional splits for Jacquard construction and for fabrics subject to cotton, man-made fiber, or wool textile restraints. Italy leads US imports of noil silk fabrics, with India and China also significant sources. Importers should confirm whether a fabric's silk-content percentage and loom type place it in the Jacquard or non-Jacquard lines, as misclassification between these subdivisions is a common audit finding.

Noil silk is made from the short fibers combed out during silk processing, giving the fabric a heavier, less lustrous hand compared to continuous-filament silk. The HS system treats noil silk as a distinct fiber input, so woven fabrics made from it fall under heading 500710 regardless of their silk-content percentage, rather than under 500720 or 500790.
When noil silk fabric contains less than 85% silk or silk waste, the US schedule further subdivides by the chief other fiber: lines 5007106010 and 5007106020 cover fabrics subject to cotton and man-made fiber restraints (distinguished by yarn color), 5007106030 covers those subject to wool restraints, and 5007106090 captures all others. Determining the chief weight of the non-silk fiber is essential to landing in the correct 10-digit line.
