Classification of webbing under HS 5806.39
Webbing is classified under HS code 5806.39, which pertains to narrow woven fabrics made of textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. To qualify for heading 5806, the fabric must have a width not exceeding 30 cm and possess selvedges (woven, gummed, or otherwise made) on both edges. This specific subheading is a residual category for materials like jute, hemp, or specialized natural fibers not covered by 5806.31 or 5806.32. The classification depends heavily on the manufacturing process—specifically that it is woven rather than braided or knitted—and the final width of the strip. If the material is treated or coated, it may still fall here provided the textile character remains dominant. For industrial applications, the tensile strength and material composition are the primary factors for customs valuation and duty determination.

Codes often confused with 5806.39
Common mistake. Webbing is frequently confused with HS code 5806.32, which is specifically for narrow woven fabrics of man-made fibers. If the webbing is made of nylon or polyester, it must go there. Another common error is using 5609.00, which covers articles of yarn or twine, or 6307.90 for finished textile articles. If the webbing has been cut to a specific length and fitted with buckles or hooks, it is no longer a narrow woven fabric but a finished article.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
