What decides the code
Satin polyester ribbon is a narrow woven fabric of man-made fibers under heading 5806, classified at 5806.32.10.30 when it is polyester, has a woven selvedge, and is not over 12 cm wide.
- Fiber content decides the subheading. Polyester ribbon falls under 5806.32, the man-made fiber group, while cotton or silk ribbon moves to a different fiber group in heading 5806.
- Construction as a narrow woven fabric keeps the ribbon in heading 5806. A ribbon that is a woven fabric in the piece, not cut to narrow width, is classified as ordinary woven fabric.
- Width of 12 cm or less places the ribbon in the 5806.32.10 group. A wider ribbon goes to the other width group under 5806.32.
- A woven selvedge puts the ribbon in the woven selvedge line. Ribbon without a woven selvedge, such as cut-edge ribbon, takes the other line in the same group.
Common mistakes
- Classifying satin polyester ribbon under 5807 as a made-up textile article is wrong. Heading 5807 covers labels, badges and similar articles, not narrow woven ribbon.
- Classifying the ribbon under 5407 as woven fabric of synthetic filament yarn is wrong. Heading 5407 covers fabric in the piece, and narrow woven ribbon belongs to heading 5806.
- Classifying the ribbon under 5810 as embroidery is wrong. Plain satin ribbon has no embroidered design, so heading 5810 does not apply.
