Sold in continuous lengths (in the piece), braids and ornamental trimmings in this heading supply the apparel, home décor, upholstery, and military uniform industries with ready-to-apply decorative edging. The heading explicitly excludes embroidered, knitted, or crocheted trimmings, so the construction method — typically interlaced or plaited strands — is the key classification boundary. Tassels and pompons, whether for drapery, academic regalia, or fashion accessories, are grouped here as finished decorative articles rather than raw textile inputs. Buyers should verify that trimmings with any embroidered element are assessed under the embroidery headings instead.
