5806.20.00.10 - Containing elastomeric yarn (229) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5806.20.00.10, specifically covers narrow woven fabrics that contain by weight 5 percent or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, with the distinguishing feature being the explicit inclusion of elastomeric yarn as a primary component. This means items like elastic bands, narrow elastic tapes, and stretchable ribbons fall under this category, provided they meet the weight percentage requirement for elastomeric yarn. The "containing elastomeric yarn" designation ensures a precise classification for these versatile textile components used in a wide range of apparel, accessories, and industrial applications where stretch and recovery are essential.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5806.20.00.90 ("Other"), by the explicit identification of elastomeric yarn. While both subheadings fall under the broader category of narrow woven fabrics containing 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, 5806.20.00.10 specifically isolates those where elastomeric yarn is the dominant or specifically declared elastic component. The sibling category would therefore encompass fabrics that meet the weight threshold but may not have elastomeric yarn as the primary elastic element, or are not specifically identified as such.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, focusing on the specific material composition of narrow woven fabrics that incorporate elastomeric yarn. Classification decisions under this subheading will hinge on verifying the presence and quantity of elastomeric yarn, as well as confirming the product is a "narrow woven fabric" and not something else, such as a finished article of apparel or a different type of textile good.
