Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 581099 when importing or exporting embroidery fabrics made from textile materials other than cotton and man-made fibers. For instance, if you're shipping embroidered silk or wool fabric by the roll, this code applies.

This code specifically covers embroidery that has a visible ground, distinguishing it from HS-6 581091, which deals with similar fabrics made from cotton. If your product features intricate designs on a base of wool or silk, 581099 is the right choice.
