Freestanding Metal Thread Embroidery Applique from Japan
Freestanding metal thread embroidery appliques are made using metallic threads, such as Lurex, embroidered on a soluble ground that is later dissolved. The finished applique has no visible ground and is used in apparel and furnishing applications. Chapter Note 7 confirms that articles made of metal thread for such purposes are included in this chapter, and tariff item 5810.10.00 covers embroidery without visible ground.

Import Tips
• Verify that the metal thread content does not trigger classification in another chapter, such as Chapter 70 for glass fibres
• Provide a detailed description of the manufacturing process to CBSA to confirm the absence of a visible ground
• Confirm the appliques are in motifs, as this aligns with the tariff item's scope
