HS Code for Narrow chenille fabric

Narrow chenille fabric is classified under HS code 5806.10. This code specifically covers narrow woven fabrics that feature a pile or chenille construction. In the context of the Harmonized System, "narrow" refers to fabrics with a width not exceeding 30 cm, provided they have selvedges (woven, gummed, or otherwise made) on both edges. Chenille fabric is characterized by its fuzzy, caterpillar-like texture, created by short lengths of yarn (pile) held between two core yarns. The classification is determined by the weaving method and the width of the material. These fabrics are often used for decorative trimmings, ribbons, and apparel accents where a soft, tufted texture is desired.

Common Misclassification

Narrow chenille fabric is often confused with HS code 5801, which covers broad woven pile and chenille fabrics (wider than 30 cm). It may also be confused with 5606, which is the code for chenille yarn itself. If the item is a label or badge made of chenille, it might fall under 5807. Furthermore, if the fabric is not woven but knitted, it would be classified in Chapter 60.
