HS Code 5007.90 – Silk; woven fabrics n.e.c. in heading no. 5007
HS code 5007.90 is the 6-digit subheading for silk, woven fabrics n.e.c. in heading no. 5007. It is used for silk-cotton blend fabric, silk-linen blend fabric, silk-wool blend fabric, silk-polyester blend fabric and silk velvet (if <85% silk).
What HS 5007.90 covers
This HS code serves as a residual category for all other woven silk fabrics not specifically covered by 500710 (noil silk) or 500720 (85% or more silk/silk waste, other than noil). This typically includes woven fabrics with a silk content of less than 85% by weight, or those that are blends where silk is a significant but not dominant component, or fabrics with unique weaves or constructions not fitting the other categories. Exporters are diverse, ranging from major silk-producing nations like China and India to countries specializing in textile blends and innovative fabrics, such as Italy and South Korea. Importers include a broad spectrum of textile manufacturers, apparel brands, and retailers globally, particularly those looking for silk-blend fabrics that offer the aesthetic appeal of silk with enhanced durability, stretch, or cost-effectiveness from other fibers. Trade in this category is driven by versatility, price point, and specific functional or aesthetic requirements for various end-uses.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
