Heading 5810

Embroidery in the piece, in strips or in motifs

9 declarable lines

Heading 5810 covers embroidery in the piece, in strips or in motifs. It first separates embroidery without visible ground from other embroidery, then splits other embroidery by fiber: cotton, man-made fibers, and other textile materials. Several lines carry a general (MFN) rate that refers to an additional U.S. note rather than a percentage.
