More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the banding contains 5% or more elastomeric yarn and exceeds 30 cm in width
Heading 6004 covers elastomeric knitted fabrics over 30 cm wide, but this is unlikely given the narrow width.
If the banding is a label or badge, not a fabric
Heading 58.07 covers labels and badges, which may apply if the banding has printed markings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the fibre is modal (artificial) and the fabric is knitted, not woven
• Measure the width to ensure it is under 30 cm, and document the absence of elastomeric yarn for classification
