HS chapter 58: Special woven fabrics
Section XI — Textiles and textile articles
Goods classified under HS-58 include special woven fabrics, tufted textiles, lace, and embroidery. For instance, if you're importing a shipment of tufted rugs, this chapter will guide you in determining the correct classification.
To find the right HS-4 code, start by identifying the specific type of fabric or textile you have. For example, if your product is a woven pile fabric, you would look at heading 5801. Pay attention to the details in the product description to avoid confusion with similar items.
Next, drill down to HS-6 by examining the notes and exclusions related to your chosen HS-4 code. If you're dealing with narrow woven fabrics, for example, ensure you're not misclassifying them under 5806 when they might belong to a different category. Check the specific characteristics of your goods carefully.
Always refer to the national digits for your country to ensure compliance with local regulations. If you're unsure about classification, consulting a customs broker or reviewing past rulings can provide clarity.
