What HS code 5806 covers
Heading 5806 sits in Chapter 58, special woven fabrics, which is part of Section XI, textiles. Labels and badges are not here. They go to heading 5807.
The heading also has one odd group. A bolduc is a narrow fabric made of warp without weft, held together by an adhesive. Warp threads run along the length of a fabric. Weft threads run across it. A bolduc has no weft, so glue holds the threads in place.
Some traders write this as HSN code 5806. It is the same heading, so the codes below apply either way.
Narrow woven fabrics HS code list in plain words
The official wording is long and full of exclusions. Here is what each six-digit code means in simple terms.
- 580610: pile fabrics, including terry towelling, and chenille (pile and chenille)
- 580620: elastic tapes, with at least five parts in every hundred of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread by weight (elastic)
- 580631: cotton tapes and bands (cotton)

How to confirm the correct HS code for narrow woven fabrics
Work through these questions in order. Stop at the first match.
The letters n.e.c. mean not elsewhere classified. So the cotton, man-made fibre and other-material codes only fit goods that did not match an earlier question.
- Does the fabric have a raised pile, or is it terry or chenille? Look at 580610.
- If not, is it elastic, with the elastomer or rubber share given above? Look at 580620.
- That is a bolduc, so look at 580640.
- Otherwise, check the main material. Cotton is 580631, man-made fibre is 580632 and anything else is 580639.
HS 5806 vs 5807 and other Chapter 58 headings
The wording of 5806 points to several neighbours, so a wrong turn is easy. The key split with 5807 is simple. Labels, badges and similar textile articles that are not embroidered belong to 5807. A plain woven tape stays in 5806.
Other headings point back to 5806 too. In each case, the narrow version of the fabric goes to 5806.
- 5801 covers woven pile and chenille fabrics that are not in 5802 or 5806.
- 5802 covers terry towelling and tufted textile fabrics, but not the narrow kind.
- 5808 covers braids, ornamental trimmings without embroidery, tassels and pompons.
