Last updated: July 2026 dataBlended silk woven fabrics—where silk or silk waste constitutes less than 85% of the fabric by weight—and any other woven silk fabrics not elsewhere specified fall into this residual heading. The under-85% threshold means these goods contain a meaningful proportion of other fibers (such as cotton, linen, or manmade fibers), which affects both their classification and their commercial positioning relative to pure silk goods. As a catch-all for silk-containing woven fabrics not captured by more specific headings, this category requires careful fiber content analysis to confirm that no more precise classification applies. Pile, chenille, and narrow fabrics remain excluded.

The 85% by weight threshold is the dividing line. Fabrics with 85% or more silk (excluding noil) are classified in the higher-purity heading, while those with less than 85% silk—or those that are silk-containing but not captured by any other specific silk heading—fall here. The NES designation also captures unusual silk blends or constructions that do not fit neatly into other categories.
Yes, provided silk is the predominant fiber by weight (even if under 85%) and the fabric is not a pile, chenille, or narrow fabric, and no more specific heading applies. The classification logic follows the predominant fiber, and the NES rule applies when the blend does not match a more precisely defined heading. Fiber content testing and a written classification analysis are recommended to support the entry.
