5807.90 - Other:

This HTS category, 5807.90, encompasses textile articles that function as labels, badges, and similar identification or decorative items. These are distinct from the "Woven" category (5807.10) in that they are not necessarily produced by a weaving process. Instead, they can be manufactured through other textile techniques such as knitting, felting, or printing. The key commonality is their presentation: they are supplied in the piece, in strips, or cut to specific shapes and sizes, and crucially, they are not embroidered.

The distinction from embroidered articles is significant. While embroidery can be a decorative element or a method of inscription, this category specifically excludes items where the primary method of design or inscription is embroidery. The purpose of these articles is typically for affixing to other goods for identification, branding, or as a decorative element, but without the intricate needlework characteristic of embroidery.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory "Labels" specifically addresses items primarily used for informational or branding purposes. The residual "Other" subcategory (5807.90.20) is for items that meet the general description of labels, badges, or similar articles but do not fall under the more specific "Labels" designation, perhaps due to a predominantly decorative function or a less direct identification purpose.
