BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Tariff classification and characteristics

CN code 580110 covers woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics of wool or fine animal hair, other than fabrics of heading 5802 or 5806. These fabrics are characterised by a soft, plush surface formed by cut or uncut loops of fibres. Wool pile fabrics are valued for their excellent thermal insulation properties, elegant appearance and pleasant touch. They are used in clothing production, upholstered furniture, curtains and interior decoration. Classification requires confirming that the raw material is wool or fine animal hair and that the fabric has a pile or loop structure. Fabrics of synthetic fibres imitating wool pile are classified under different codes.

Regulatory requirements and the Textile Regulation

Wool pile fabrics are subject to Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 on textile fibre names and labelling of textile products. Labels must state the fibre composition by weight percentage. Chemical substances used in dyeing and finishing are subject to REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. Particular restrictions apply to azo dyes that may release aromatic amines listed in Annex XVII of REACH. Formaldehyde used as a dye fixative must not exceed emission limits specified in national standards. Fabrics intended for clothing or skin contact are subject to stricter hazardous substance requirements. The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is a recognised benchmark for chemical safety.

Trade and import procedures

Importing wool pile fabrics requires a commercial invoice with detailed product description, origin documents and textile regulation compliance certificates. Major suppliers of wool fabrics include the United Kingdom, Italy, Turkey and China. Wool fabrics must be transported under conditions protecting against moisture and pests such as moths. Standard packaging involves bales wrapped in polyethylene on pallets. Preferential tariff rates may be available under trade agreements, subject to rules of origin requiring sufficient textile processing. Quantitative quotas on textile imports may apply depending on the country of origin.

Special woven pile fabrics of wool fabrics CN 5801 10 in trade

CN code 580110 covers woven pile fabrics of wool classified in Chapter 58 of the Combined Nomenclature. These special fabrics are manufactured using advanced weaving technology, distinguishing them from standard fabrics in Chapters 50-55. When importing into the EU, correctly identifying the production technique (pile, chenille, lace) is key as it determines tariff classification and the duty rate. Importers must also ensure dye and finish REACH compliance.

Frequently asked questions

What labelling requirements apply to wool fabrics in the EU?

Which chemical substances are restricted in wool fabrics?
REACH restricts azo dyes releasing listed aromatic amines, formaldehyde, nickel in metal parts and other harmful substances. Clothing fabrics are subject to stricter substance migration limits. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification confirms compliance with rigorous chemical safety standards.
Are there import quotas on wool fabrics?
Quantitative quotas may apply depending on the country of origin. Importers should check current requirements in the SIGL system and TARIC database. Imports from countries covered by trade preferences may be exempt from quotas.
How to correctly classify woven pile fabrics of wool CN 5801 10?
Classification under CN 5801 10 requires identifying the production technique and fibre type. The special weaving technique must be distinguished from standard weaving. Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling can be requested if in doubt.
