5806.32.10 - Ribbons

This HTS category, 5806.32.10, encompasses ribbons that are classified as narrow woven fabrics made from man-made fibers. These are distinguished from other narrow woven fabrics by their construction and intended end-use. Crucially, this subheading specifically covers ribbons that are *not* of man-made fibers, nor are they assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs), nor do they fall under heading 5807 which relates to labels, badges, and similar articles.

The primary distinguishing factor for this category lies in its exclusion of certain types of narrow woven fabrics and its specific focus on ribbons. While sibling category 5806.32.20.00 covers "Other" narrow woven fabrics of man-made fibers, this particular subheading carves out a distinct niche.

Subdivided further, 5806.32.10.10 specifically addresses ribbons suitable for the manufacture of typewriter or similar ribbons falling under heading 9612. The "Other" subcategory then captures all remaining ribbons of man-made fibers that do not meet the specific criteria of the .10.10 subdivision, broadening the scope to include a wide array of decorative and functional ribbons.
