About heading 5803

Gauze, other than narrow fabrics of heading 5806

Heading 5803 covers gauze: a lightweight, open-weave fabric made of crossing warp threads, sold in the piece rather than as narrow strips. The heading is split first by fiber: cotton, wool or fine animal hair, vegetable fibers, man-made fibers, and other textile materials. Within wool there is a further split by weight and use, and within other materials by silk content.
