Harmonized System Classification Hierarchy
Complete Tariff Product Description
What is classified under HS Code 5007.20.00?
HS Code 5007.20.00 covers other woven fabrics, containing 85% or more by weight of silk or of silk waste other than noil silk. In commercial practice these goods are traded as Woven Fabric made of 100% Silk, and buyers, factories and customs brokers most often refer to them as pure silk fabric, silk crepe de chine, silk satin.
The code is read level by level: Section XI (Textiles and Textile Articles) narrows to Chapter 50 (Silk), then Heading 5007 (Woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste) and Subheading 5007.20 (Containing >=85% silk), ending at the 8-digit tariff line 5007.20.00. The first six digits follow the WCO international standard and stay the same in every country; the final two digits are the national subdivision used for duty assessment and trade statistics.
- Classification is decided by the heading text and the material and construction it names — here, 100% Silk and Woven Fabric.
- If a shipment mixes this product with other textile articles, each item is classified under its own heading; goods put up in sets follow the essential-character rule (GIR 3).
- When the same product exists in several materials, the material named in this code (100% Silk) is the one that must appear on the invoice and packing list.
How to declare HS Code 5007.20.00
- Commercial invoice: print 5007.20.00 next to the item description (Woven Fabric) with the material composition (100% Silk) matching the code text exactly.
- Packing list: keep quantities, net and gross weights and carton counts consistent with the invoice line for this code.
- Certificate of Origin & Bill of Lading: repeat the same code so bank document checkers under an L/C and customs officers see one consistent classification across all documents.
- Before shipment: verify the code against the destination country's current tariff schedule — duty rates, restrictions and required certificates are set nationally, not by the HS code itself.
