Pompons and tassels are three-dimensional decorative elements rather than flat, continuous narrow fabrics, and they are specifically named in heading 5808.90. Braids in continuous lengths fall under 5808.10. If a trimming combines braid with attached tassels, the essential character of the article determines the heading, and a binding ruling from CBP may be advisable for novel constructions.
Yes — fringe or tassel-like articles produced by a knitting or crocheting process are excluded from 5808.90 and must be classified elsewhere, typically under Chapter 60 or another applicable heading. Importers should obtain a process description from the manufacturer to confirm construction method before filing entry.
