Woven directly on jacquard or dobby looms to incorporate text, logos, and color patterns into the fabric structure itself, these labels and badges differ fundamentally from printed or embroidered alternatives — a distinction that matters both commercially and for classification. They are a high-volume input for the global apparel, footwear, and luggage industries, where brand identity and care-instruction compliance drive demand. The explicit exclusion of embroidered articles from this heading means that any label with embroidery elements must be assessed separately. Importers should confirm that the article is presented in the piece or in strips, as finished individual labels cut and folded may be classified differently.

Labels presented in continuous strips or on rolls are generally classified as fabric in the piece under this heading. Labels that have been individually cut, folded, and finished — ready for direct attachment to a garment — may be classified as made-up textile articles under a different heading. The condition as imported is the controlling factor, so importers should document the presentation format clearly on the commercial invoice.
A woven label has its design — text, logo, or pattern — formed by the interlacing of differently colored yarns during the weaving process, making the design integral to the fabric structure. A printed label has its design applied to the surface of a pre-woven substrate. This structural difference places them in distinct tariff headings, and CBP may request a sample or technical description to confirm the production method.
