Last updated: August 2026 dataNonwoven and knit textile labels serve the same apparel and retail-packaging functions as their woven counterparts but are produced by bonding, felting, or knitting rather than weaving, which places them in a separate heading with distinct duty treatment. The US schedule subdivides this heading into eight 10-digit lines by construction (nonwoven versus knit) and fiber content, including cotton lines (5807900510), man-made fiber lines (5807900520), and residual categories. Importers should pay close attention to whether a label is truly nonwoven or knit, as misclassification into the woven heading 5807.10 is a common audit finding.

The distinction rests on manufacturing process: nonwoven labels are made by mechanically, thermally, or chemically bonding fibers without weaving or knitting. A physical examination or manufacturer's process documentation is typically required to support the classification; a licensed customs broker or CBP binding ruling can provide certainty before large shipments.
Yes — heading 5807.90 explicitly includes knit labels and badges alongside nonwoven ones. Lines 5807902020 and 5807902090 cover knitted badges of man-made fibers and other materials respectively, keeping all non-embroidered, non-woven label and badge constructions within this single heading.
