Description

Overview

Heading 5806 encompasses narrow woven fabrics, excluding those specifically classified under heading 5807 (labels, badges, etc.). This category also includes unique narrow fabrics known as "bolducs," which consist of warp yarns assembled with an adhesive, lacking weft yarns. These fabrics are typically characterized by their limited width, generally not exceeding 30 centimeters, and are often used for decorative purposes, trimmings, or functional applications where narrow textile strips are required.

Distinguishing this heading from its siblings within Section XI, it's crucial to note that 5806 focuses exclusively on narrow woven or specially constructed fabrics. Broader woven fabrics, for instance, fall under Chapter 54 or 55 based on their fiber composition. Similarly, knitted or crocheted fabrics, found in heading 6002 through 6006, are excluded as they are created by interloping yarns rather than weaving.

The subcategories within 5806 provide further differentiation based on fabric construction and composition. Subheading 5806.10 covers woven pile fabrics, such as terry toweling, and chenille fabrics, identifiable by their raised loops or fuzzy surface. Subheading 5806.20.00 specifically addresses other woven narrow fabrics that contain a significant amount of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, indicating stretchable properties. Finally, subheading 5806.40.00.00 pertains to the aforementioned bolducs, emphasizing their distinct warp-only construction with adhesive assembly.
