They are essential components in various industries, from apparel and home textiles to crafts and industrial applications. Importers include garment factories, accessory manufacturers, and craft suppliers looking for durable and comfortable cotton trims. Exporters are often cotton-producing countries with established textile manufacturing capabilities. The 'narrow' aspect implies widths typically not exceeding 30 cm, and their cotton composition is the defining characteristic for this classification.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
