5807.90.05 - Of cotton or man-made fibers

This HTS category, 5807.90.05, specifically covers labels of textile materials that are not embroidered. These labels can be presented in various forms, including in the piece, cut into strips, or pre-cut to specific shapes and sizes. The defining characteristic is their non-embroidered nature, distinguishing them from other types of textile labels or decorative items within Chapter 58.

Within the broader scope of "Labels, badges and similar articles of textile materials, in the piece, in strips or cut to shape or size, not embroidered," this code focuses on labels. It differentiates itself from its sibling category, 5807.90.15, which encompasses "Other" non-embroidered articles that are not labels. Therefore, if an item is clearly identifiable as a label, it would fall under this sub-classification rather than the broader "other" category at the same level.

This category further subdivides based on the primary fiber content of the label. The subcategories include: 5807.90.05.10 for labels predominantly made of cotton, and 5807.90.05.20 for labels made from other textile fibers, including man-made fibers. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
