Chapter 58: Special woven fabrics
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 580640 when importing or exporting narrow woven fabrics made of warp without weft, typically assembled using an adhesive. A common example is bolduc ribbon used for gift wrapping and packaging.
This code specifically applies to fabrics that do not include weft threads, distinguishing them from broader fabric categories. For instance, HS-6 580621 covers narrow woven fabrics that do contain weft, making it essential to select the correct classification based on your product's structure.
Narrow woven fabrics classified under this code are often used in various applications, such as decorative ribbons, straps, or trims. They are usually lightweight and flexible, making them suitable for both industrial and consumer goods.
When considering HS-6 580640, be aware that it does not cover fabrics that are simply woven but rather those that are uniquely assembled with adhesive, which may affect your duty rates and compliance requirements.
