HS Code for Stretch webbing

Stretch webbing is classified under HS code 5806.20. This classification falls under Chapter 58, which covers special woven fabrics, tufted textile fabrics, lace, tapestries, trimmings, and embroidery. Heading 5806 specifically addresses narrow woven fabrics. To be classified as "narrow," the fabric must have a width not exceeding 30 cm. Subheading 5806.20 is specifically for those narrow woven fabrics that contain by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread. This product is distinct from standard webbing because of its elastic properties, which are essential for applications in apparel waistbands, luggage straps, and industrial safety gear. The classification is determined by the combination of the weaving method, the width of the material, and the percentage of elastic components. It follows GRI 1 and 6, ensuring that the product's physical dimensions and material composition align with the specific requirements of the 5806.20 subheading.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

Stretch webbing is frequently misclassified under HS code 5806.32, which is for narrow woven fabrics of man-made fibers that do not contain elastic components. Another common error is using HS code 6002.40, which applies to narrow fabrics that are knitted or crocheted rather than woven. It is vital to distinguish between the construction method (woven vs. knitted) and the presence of elastomeric materials to ensure the correct code is applied.
