Elastic Narrow Woven Headband Fabric

A narrow woven fabric, 2.5 cm wide with selvages, containing 8% spandex elastomeric yarn for stretch, used for sewing hair headbands. It falls under HTS 5806.20.00.90 as a narrow woven fabric (width ≤30 cm) with ≥5% elastomeric yarn, not specifically for heading 5807. The adhesive-free construction and woven structure distinguish it from bolducs.

• Common pitfall: incorrect labeling as Chapter 59 coated fabrics—ensure no impregnation
