(A) NARROW WOVEN FABRICS
In accordance with Note 5 to this Chapter this heading includes as narrow woven
fabrics :
(1) Warp and weft fabrics in strips of a width not exceeding 30 cm provided with
selvedges (flat or tubular) on both edges. These articles are produced on special
ribbon looms several ribbons often being produced simultaneously; in some
cases the ribbons may be woven with wavy edges on one or both sides.
(2) Strips of a width not exceeding 30 cm cut (or slit) from wider pieces of warp and
weft fabric (whether cut (or slit) longitudinally or on the cross) and provided with
false selvedges on both edges or a normal woven selvedge on one edge and a
false selvedge on the other. False selvedges are designed to prevent unravelling
of a piece of cut (or slit) fabric and may for example consist of a row of gauze
stitches woven into the wider fabric before cutting (or slitting) of a simple hem
or they may be produced by gumming the edges of strips or by fusing the edges
in the case of certain ribbons of man-made fibres. They may also be created
when a fabric is treated before it is cut into strips in a manner that prevents the
edges of those strips from unravelling. No demarcation between the narrow
fabric and its false selvedges need be evident in that case. Strips cut (or slit)
from fabric but not provided with a selvedge either real or false on each edge
are excluded from this heading and classified with ordinary woven fabrics. (As
regards bias binding see paragraph (4) below.)
(3) Seamless tubular warp and weft fabrics of a width when flattened not
exceeding 30 cm. Fabrics consisting of strips with the edges joined to form a
tube (by sewing gumming or otherwise) are however excluded from this
heading.
(4) Bias binding consisting of strips with folded edges of a width when unfolded
not exceeding 30 cm cut on the cross from warp and weft fabrics. These
products are cut from wide fabrics and not provided therefore with a selvedge
either real or false.
The products referred to above include both ribbons and webbing as well as certain
galloons having the characteristics of woven ribbons.
Ribbons are usually of silk wool cotton or man-made fibres whether or not
containing elastomeric yarn or rubber thread and are used in underwear in women's
apparel in the manufacture of hats and fancy collars as medal ribbons as a
decorative binding material in furnishing etc.
The heading also includes narrow woven fabrics made from metal thread provided
such fabrics are clearly of a kind used for apparel furnishing or similar purposes (see
Chapter Note 7).
The galloons classified here are narrow ribbons; webbings are thick strong narrow
woven fabrics usually of cotton flax hemp or jute used in saddlery harness-making
for the manufacture of straps belting or waist bands chair seats etc.
The heading also includes webbing for blinds consisting of two tapes connected at
regular intervals by narrow bands the whole being obtained by a single continuous
weaving operation.
The goods covered by this heading are usually woven with the same weaves as the
fabrics of Chapters 50 to 55 or heading 58.01 (velvets) and they differ from these
fabrics only as regards the criteria referred to in paragraphs (1) to (4) above.
These products remain classified here when watered (" moir‚ ") embossed printed
etc.
(B) BOLDUCS
This heading also covers narrow fabrics (bolducs) of a width usually ranging from a
few mm to 1 cm consisting of warp (parallelised yarns monofilaments or textile fibres)
without weft but assembled by means of an adhesive. These are mainly used for tying
parcels; some are used for making millinery plaits.
They sometimes bear the trade name of the user printed at regular intervals. This
does not affect their classification.
This heading excludes :
(a)Bandages medicated or put up in forms or packings for retail sale (heading 30.05).
(b)Narrow woven fabrics with woven fringes braided galloons and braids (heading 58.08).
