Chapter 58: Special woven fabrics
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5801 when importing or exporting woven pile and chenille fabrics, such as a shipment of cotton corduroy upholstery fabric. This heading encompasses various types of fabrics, excluding those classified under headings 5802 or 5806.
When deciding between HS-6 subheadings, consider the material and fabric type. For instance, 580110 is specifically for woven pile fabrics made of wool or fine animal hair, while 580121 covers uncut weft pile fabrics made of cotton. Understanding the specific characteristics of your fabric will help you choose the correct code.
If your fabric is a cotton cut corduroy, you would use 580122. However, if it’s a different type of cotton pile fabric, such as weft pile but not cut or uncut, you would select 580123. The distinctions are crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment.
For man-made fiber options, 580131 is for uncut weft pile fabrics, while 580132 is for cut corduroy. Make sure to identify the specific fabric type to avoid misclassification, which can lead to delays and additional costs.
