About HS Code 580110
This HS code covers woven pile fabrics made from luxurious materials like wool or fine animal hair, excluding specific types of terry toweling or chenille fabrics. These textiles are characterized by their raised surface, which can be cut (velvet, velveteen) or uncut (terry), providing a soft, rich texture. They are highly sought after in the upholstery, apparel, and decorative textile industries for their warmth, durability, and elegant appearance. Major importers include fashion houses, high-end furniture manufacturers, and interior design firms in countries like Italy, France, the United States, and Japan. Exporters often come from regions with strong textile manufacturing capabilities and access to quality wool or specialty animal fibers, such as the UK, Italy, and China. Key aspects of trade involve fiber quality, pile height and density, and the specific weaving technique that creates the pile structure.
