Last updated: July 2026 dataMetallized textile yarn and strip — produced by laminating, wrapping, or coating a textile base with metal in thread, strip, or powder form — are specialty inputs for decorative fabrics, technical textiles, and apparel trimmings. The 5 mm width ceiling on strip is a firm classification boundary shared with other narrow textile forms. Because these products combine textile and metallic components, classification disputes can arise over whether the article is primarily a textile or a metal product; the governing rule is that the textile substrate determines heading placement when metal is applied as a covering or combination.

When metal is applied to a textile base — whether as a laminated strip, a powder coating, or a wrapped thread — the article is classified as a textile product under the textile headings rather than as a metal article. The essential character is determined by the textile substrate, provided the metal functions as a covering or decorative element rather than as the structural component.
Apparel trimmings, decorative woven fabrics, upholstery, and festive or ceremonial textiles are the primary end-use markets. Technical applications such as electromagnetic shielding fabrics and conductive textiles represent a growing niche, though those products may require additional classification analysis depending on their construction.
