Overview & Key Summary

Harmonized System Classification Hierarchy
Complete Tariff Product Description
What is classified under HS Code 5806.10.00?
HS Code 5806.10.00 covers narrow woven fabrics, of pile construction (including terry towelling and similar terry fabrics) and chenille fabrics (Velvet ribbons / Terry binding tape). In commercial practice these goods are traded as Narrow Fabric Ribbon made of Nylon / Polyester Velvet Ribbon, and buyers, factories and customs brokers most often refer to them as velvet ribbon, narrow velvet tape, choker ribbon.
The code is read level by level: Section XI (Textiles and Textile Articles) narrows to Chapter 58 (Special Woven Fabrics, Lace, Tapestries & Trimmings), then Heading 5806 (Narrow woven fabrics, other than goods of heading 5807; narrow fabrics of warp without weft) and Subheading 5806.10 (Narrow woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics), ending at the 8-digit tariff line 5806.10.00. The first six digits follow the WCO international standard and stay the same in every country; the final two digits are the national subdivision used for duty assessment and trade statistics.
- Classification is decided by the heading text and the material and construction it names — here, Nylon / Polyester Velvet Ribbon and Narrow Fabric Ribbon.
- If a shipment mixes this product with other textile articles, each item is classified under its own heading; goods put up in sets follow the essential-character rule (GIR 3).
- When the same product exists in several materials, the material named in this code (Nylon / Polyester Velvet Ribbon) is the one that must appear on the invoice and packing list.
How to declare HS Code 5806.10.00
- Commercial invoice: print 5806.10.00 next to the item description (Narrow Fabric Ribbon) with the material composition (Nylon / Polyester Velvet Ribbon) matching the code text exactly.
- Packing list: keep quantities, net and gross weights and carton counts consistent with the invoice line for this code.
- Certificate of Origin & Bill of Lading: repeat the same code so bank document checkers under an L/C and customs officers see one consistent classification across all documents.
- Before shipment: verify the code against the destination country's current tariff schedule — duty rates, restrictions and required certificates are set nationally, not by the HS code itself.
