2 six-digit codes · Heading 8 of 11 in Chapter 58 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
Many buyers also search for it as HSN code 5808.
Heading 5808 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Braids in the piece; ornamental trimmings in the piece, without embroidery, other than knitted or crocheted; tassels, pompons and similar articles” classify either at 580810 or at 580890, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 8 of 11 in Chapter 58, Fabrics; special woven fabrics, tufted textile fabrics, lace, tapestries, trimmings, embroidery, which runs to 37 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 5808 covers
Heading 5808 is a group of decorative textile goods. Think of braids, tassels and pompons. These are the finishing touches used on curtains, cushions, clothing and similar items.
The heading has two parts. The first part is braids in the piece. The second part is ornamental trimmings in the piece, without embroidery, other than knitted or crocheted. Tassels, pompons and similar articles sit with that second part.
The words "in the piece" matter. They mean the goods are sold as a length, not cut and sewn into a finished item. Use this page when your product matches one of these descriptions and you need the right code for a customs form or a trade search.
Difference between 580810 and 580890
Only the six-digit wording separates the two codes. If your product is a braid in the piece, use 580810. If it is a trimming, a tassel, a pompon or a similar article, use 580890.
The table above gives the full text for each code. Here is the short version:
- 580810: braids, in the piece.
- This also includes ornamental trimmings in the piece, without embroidery, other than knitted or crocheted.
What does HS code 5808 not include?
The wording of 5808 sets clear limits. Check these before you pick a code.
Embroidered trimmings are out. The heading says "without embroidery". Embroidery in the piece, in strips or in motifs has its own heading, 5810. This is the usual answer to the question of embroidered trimmings versus non-embroidered ones.
The heading says "other than knitted or crocheted". So a knitted trimming does not belong under 580890 on that wording alone.
Two nearby headings are easy to mix up with 5808. A narrow strip is not automatically a braid or a trimming, so read each description closely. Tulles and lace sit in 5804.
If you are still unsure, run your product description through the HS code classifier.
