Tariff line 5803005000 covers open-weave gauze fabric constructed from man-made fibers — such as polyester or nylon — that falls outside the narrow-fabrics heading 5806. The man-made fiber composition distinguishes this line from cotton or natural-fiber gauze lines within the same heading, and the distinction matters for both duty rate and any applicable textile trade preference eligibility. Importers should verify fiber content and weave structure carefully, as misclassification between gauze and other open-weave fabrics is a common audit finding in textile entries.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Gauze is characterized by its leno or plain open weave with widely spaced yarns. To fall under 5803005000, the fabric must be of man-made fibers and must not qualify as a narrow fabric under heading 5806. Fabrics with a different weave structure or fiber composition would be classified elsewhere in Chapter 58 or Chapter 54/55.
Yes. The HTS separates gauze by fiber type — cotton, silk, man-made fibers, and other — each potentially carrying a different duty rate and different eligibility under textile trade preference programs. Accurate fiber content testing and documentation are essential for correct classification.
