5805.00 - Hand-woven tapestries of the type Gobelins, Flanders, Aubusson, Beauvais and the like, and needle-worked tapestries (for example, petit point, cross stitch), whether or not made up:

This HTS category, 5805.00, encompasses specialized textile articles primarily for decorative purposes, specifically hand-woven tapestries and needle-worked tapestries. It includes iconic types such as Gobelins, Flanders, Aubusson, and Beauvais, renowned for their intricate artistic designs and craftsmanship. The category also extends to needle-worked varieties like petit point and cross-stitch, regardless of whether they are presented in their finished form or as partially made-up items.

The scope of this classification is distinct from other categories within Chapter 58, which might cover more general woven fabrics, tufted textiles, or laces. Unlike these, 5805.00 is focused on items created through specific artistic weaving or needlework techniques intended for display or ornamental use. Furthermore, it differs from broader textile categories in other Sections by its emphasis on the artisanal quality and often pictorial nature of the articles.

Within HTS 5805.00, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on specific characteristics. For instance, subcategory 5805.00.10.00 distinguishes hand-woven tapestries solely intended for wall hangings that exceed a certain value threshold per square meter. The "Other" subcategory serves as a residual classification for tapestries that do not meet the specific criteria of the preceding subheadings, encompassing a wider range of hand-woven and needle-worked tapestries.
