Last updated: April 2026 dataPile construction — whether cut, uncut, or chenille — is the defining structural characteristic that places these narrow woven fabrics in their own classification, separate from flat-woven narrow goods. Terry toweling in narrow widths falls explicitly within scope, making this heading relevant to ribbon-format terry trims used in bathrobes, towels, and sportswear edging. The combination of narrow width and pile construction creates a niche product that serves both decorative and functional trim markets. Fiber content (cotton, synthetic, or blended) and pile height are specification points that buyers and customs brokers should document for accurate classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Under the harmonized system framework, narrow fabrics are generally those not exceeding 30 cm in width, including selvedges. Importers should measure finished width as presented and confirm it falls within this threshold, as wider pile fabrics would be classified under broad-fabric headings with potentially different duty treatment.
Chenille is produced using a chenille yarn — a yarn with pile fibers projecting radially — rather than by weaving loops into a ground fabric. Both are captured within this heading, but the production method should be noted on technical documentation, as it can be relevant if CBP questions whether the article is a yarn product versus a fabric.
