Chapter 58: Special woven fabrics
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5806 when importing narrow woven fabrics that are not classified under heading 5807. For example, if you are bringing in terry toweling or chenille fabrics, this heading will apply. Understanding the specific subheadings is crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment.
The distinction between HS-6 580610 and 580620 is key. While 580610 covers woven pile fabrics like terry toweling, 580620 pertains to narrow fabrics containing 5% or more elastomeric yarn. If your product is a narrow fabric with significant elastic content, choose 580620 instead of 580610.
When dealing with narrow woven fabrics of cotton, HS-6 580631 is the right choice. However, if your fabric is made from man-made fibers, you should use HS-6 580632. Be careful to check the material composition to select the correct subheading.
For narrow woven fabrics that do not fit into the previous categories, HS-6 580639 is applicable. This subheading captures fabrics made from various textile materials not specified elsewhere in this heading.
