Overview
This HTS classification, 5801.26.00.10, specifically designates chenille fabrics woven from cotton where the distinctive chenille effect, characterized by a fuzzy, cut-pile surface, is present on one side of the fabric only. This means that while one surface exhibits the characteristic looped or cut pile created by the chenille yarns, the reverse side will not have this prominent fuzzy texture, potentially appearing smoother or showing the underlying weave structure.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5801.26.00.20, is crucial. The "Other" designation for the sibling category implies that it would encompass chenille fabrics woven from cotton that do not meet the "chenille yarns on one side only" criterion. This could include fabrics with chenille pile on both sides, or perhaps fabrics where the chenille effect is achieved through different manufacturing techniques not captured by the specific description of this subcategory. Therefore, the presence and location of the chenille yarn effect on a single side is the primary differentiator.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 5801.26.00.10 relies solely on the material (cotton), the fabric type (chenille), and the specific characteristic of the pile being present on only one side of the woven fabric. Importers should ensure that the physical examination of the textile confirms this one-sided chenille construction to correctly apply this tariff code.
