What HS 5810.99 covers
This HS code encompasses embroidery on a visible ground fabric made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers, such as silk, linen, wool, or blends thereof. These products often represent a niche market, catering to luxury segments in apparel, haute couture, bespoke tailoring, and premium home decor, where the unique texture and natural aesthetics of these fibers are highly valued. Importers are typically high-end fashion houses, interior designers, and specialized textile distributors seeking distinctive and often artisanal materials.

Key considerations for trade include the specific natural fiber's origin and quality, the intricacy and artistry of the embroidery, and its appeal to discerning consumers.

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).
