Last updated: August 2026 dataRibbons, tapes, and woven trims that do not contain qualifying levels of elastomeric content and are not pile or chenille constructions fall into this residual narrow-woven heading. These goods are workhorses of the apparel trim, packaging, and craft industries — used as hat bands, bookmarks, gift ribbons, and garment tapes. Classification here requires confirming the fabric is woven (not knitted or braided), narrow in width, and free of the specific characteristics that would place it in a more-defined heading. Fiber content and whether the fabric has a woven selvedge on both edges are key classification checkpoints.

Woven fabrics are produced by interlacing warp and weft yarns at right angles, creating a distinct over-under structure visible under magnification. Braided goods have a diagonal interlacing pattern, and knitted goods form loops. A textile laboratory analysis or mill certificate identifying the construction method is the most reliable documentation for resolving classification disputes.
Yes — having a true woven selvedge on both edges is a characteristic of narrow woven fabrics as defined in the harmonized system. Strips cut from broader fabrics without selvedges may be classified differently. Importers should confirm with their supplier whether the product is woven to width or cut from a wider piece.
