6307.90.30 - Labels

This HTS category, 6307.90.30, specifically classifies "Labels" as made-up textile articles. These labels are typically designed to be affixed to other goods, providing identification, branding, care instructions, or origin information. Their primary function is informational or promotional rather than structural or decorative for the article they are attached to.

Unlike sibling categories such as cords and tassels (6307.90.40) or corset lacings (6307.90.50), labels are not functional components for fastening or suspension, nor are they decorative embellishments in themselves. While other made-up textile articles exist within this broad chapter, this particular heading is reserved for items whose sole or primary purpose is to serve as a label.

The subcategories under 6307.90.30 differentiate labels based on their material composition. "Of cotton" (6307.90.30.10) captures labels woven or printed on cotton fabric, while "Other" (6307.90.30.20) encompasses labels made from other textile fibers, such as man-made fibers, wool, or silk, or labels that are primarily plastic with textile elements. This distinction is crucial for determining applicable duty rates and import regulations.
