Raw Untwisted Silk Tariff Code Added to Essential Goods List

The Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade has added the tariff code for raw untwisted silk to the list of essential goods, allowing import registration for this item under the essential-goods framework.

Effective from: 20 May 2026
Issued by: Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade
Reference: No. 7766679

The Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade’s Import and Export Regulations Office has notified the Innovation and Smart Security Center that the tariff code for raw untwisted silk has been added to the list of essential goods.

The notice follows up on an earlier communication regarding the list of essential-goods tariff codes and asks the recipient center to update its systems to reflect the addition, given the urgency attached to essential-goods classification for import purposes.

Inclusion on the essential goods list is significant for importers because it determines eligibility for import order registration under the streamlined essential-goods procedure, including provisions related to import without prior currency transfer that apply to designated essential items. Businesses importing raw untwisted silk should confirm the updated tariff classification before submitting import order registrations.

The change was communicated alongside related tariff-code lists maintained by other offices within the Ministry covering chemical, food, textile, and other industry sectors, as part of an ongoing effort to keep the essential goods list current across sectors.
