HS Code for Cotton webbing

Cotton webbing is classified under HS code 580631, which covers "Narrow woven fabrics, other than goods of heading 5807; other narrow woven fabrics, of cotton." Chapter 58 deals with "Special woven fabrics; tufted textile fabrics; lace; tapestries; trimmings; embroidery." Heading 5806 is specifically for narrow woven fabrics, defined as those with a width not exceeding 30 cm, provided with selvedges (woven, gummed, or otherwise made) on both edges. Webbing is a strong, narrow fabric used for straps, belts, and industrial applications. When made primarily of cotton, it is categorized under the 580631 subheading. This classification is based on the width of the fabric and the fact that it is woven rather than knitted or braided. It is a critical code for manufacturers of bags, safety equipment, and upholstery who require heavy-duty cotton strapping.

Common Misclassification

Cotton webbing is often confused with HS code 580710, which is for labels, badges, and similar articles. However, 5807 is for items that are often woven in the piece to a specific shape or with specific motifs, whereas 5806 is for continuous lengths of narrow fabric. Another misclassification is 5903, which applies if the webbing is heavily coated or laminated with plastics. If the webbing contains more than 5% elastomeric yarn, it must be classified under 580620. Finally, if the width exceeds 30 cm, it is no longer "narrow" and moves to Chapter 52.
