HS Code for Woven badges
Woven badges and labels are classified under HS code 5807.10, which falls within Chapter 58. This chapter is dedicated to special woven fabrics, tufted textile fabrics, lace, and embroidery. The specific heading 5807 covers labels, badges, and similar articles of textile materials, in the piece, in strips, or cut to shape or size. The critical distinction for 5807.10 is that these items must be woven but not embroidered. In weaving, the design or text of the badge is created simultaneously with the fabric itself on a loom, typically using a Jacquard mechanism. This differs from embroidery, where the design is stitched onto a pre-existing fabric base. The classification remains the same whether the badges are supplied in a continuous roll (in the piece) or have been cut into individual units. These items are commonly used in the garment industry for branding, size indication, or decorative purposes. If the badge contains any embroidery, even if the base is woven, it must be moved to heading 5810. Additionally, if the labels are printed rather than woven, they are classified under 5807.90.

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 5810.92, which covers embroidered badges. If a badge has a woven base but features any added embroidery, it must be classified under 5810. Another common error is using 5806.32 for narrow woven fabrics; however, if the fabric is specifically marked or cut to function as a label or badge, 5807.10 is the correct and more specific classification.
