Last updated: July 2026 dataBraided textile trimmings sold in continuous lengths are classified here, covering a wide range of fiber types and end uses — from abaca and ramie braids suited for ornamental headwear (5808101000) to cotton and man-made fiber braids for general trimming (5808104000, 5808107000). The heading's six 10-digit lines segment by intended use (headwear-suitable versus general) and by fiber content, so accurate classification requires both a fiber analysis and an assessment of the braid's commercial application. Braids used in military or uniform insignia may face additional admissibility considerations separate from standard textile entry.

CBP looks at the braid's physical characteristics — width, stiffness, fiber content, and construction — alongside commercial documentation showing its intended use. Braids of abaca or ramie (5808101000) and those of cotton or man-made fibers (5808104000) in the headwear-suitable lines must demonstrably be marketed and used for hat-making or hat ornamentation; general-purpose braids of the same fibers fall under 5808107000 or 5808109000.
No. Heading 5808.10 covers braids that are neither knitted nor crocheted. Knitted or crocheted trimmings that resemble braids are excluded and would be classified under the appropriate knit-fabric or narrow-fabric heading depending on their construction.
