HS Code for Woven labels

Woven labels are classified under HS code 580710. This classification is found in Chapter 58, which covers special woven fabrics, tufted textile fabrics, lace, and embroidery. Heading 5807 specifically includes labels, badges, and similar articles of textile materials. The primary requirement for classification under 580710 is that the items must be woven and must not be embroidered. The design, logo, or text on these labels is created during the weaving process itself by the interlacing of warp and weft yarns. According to Chapter 58 Note 6, these articles can be in the piece, in strips, or cut to shape or size. The classification remains the same whether the labels are supplied in a continuous roll or as individual units. This code is material-neutral regarding the type of textile fiber used (e.g., polyester, cotton, or nylon), provided the article meets the definition of a woven label and lacks needlework embroidery.

Common Misclassification

Woven labels are frequently misclassified under HS code 581092, which is for embroidered badges or labels. The distinction is that 580710 labels have the design woven into the fabric, while 5810 labels have the design added via needlework onto a pre-existing base. Additionally, paper labels are excluded and must be classified under 4821.
