Narrow Woven Fabrics of Other Textile Materials (Not Over 30 cm Wide)

Metallized yarn narrow woven fabrics are constructed using yarn that incorporates a metallic element as an integral component of the yarn itself — typically a metal foil laminated to a plastic film and wrapped or twisted with textile fibers. A fabric that is merely embroidered or decorated with metallic thread on a non-metallic ground fabric would not qualify; it would more likely fall under heading 5810 (embroidery) or remain in the base fabric heading. The metallic yarn must be a structural component of the woven construction.

Narrow woven linen tape — a non-cotton vegetable fiber construction — would fall under 5806392000 if it meets the narrow fabric width criterion (not over 30 cm) and is not more specifically described elsewhere. However, if the tape has been coated, impregnated, or otherwise processed for a specific technical end use, it may be classifiable under a different chapter (e.g., Chapter 59 for technical textiles). Importers should consult a licensed customs broker and review any applicable CBP binding rulings for bookbinding or archival tape products.
