What products are classified under HS 5809?
Think of a woven cloth with a metallic glint. The glint comes from metal thread or from metallised yarn. If the cloth is woven, and the yarn is the kind described in heading 5605, it may belong here.
The cloth must also be of a kind used in apparel, as furnishing fabrics or for similar purposes. Typical uses are dress cloth, curtain cloth and cloth for cushions or covers.
The words n.e.c. mean not elsewhere classified. Heading 5809 is a catch-all for woven metal thread fabrics. If another heading in the chapter describes the goods better, that heading wins.
Some buyers call these woven metal fabrics. Others say metallized yarn fabrics. Customs uses the longer wording, so check the official text before you file.
- Woven fabric made with metal thread
- Woven fabric made with metallised yarn of heading 5605
- Used in apparel, as furnishing fabrics or for similar purposes
What does HS code 5809 not include?
The most common mistake is to classify the yarn itself here. So the metallised yarn belongs in 5605, and only the woven fabric made from it belongs in 5809.
Other nearby headings in Chapter 58 take goods that look similar. Check these before you settle on 5809.
- Narrow woven fabrics, such as ribbons, go to 5806.
- Tulles, net fabrics and lace go to 5804.
