Tariff classification and product features
CN code 580136 covers chenille fabrics of man-made fibres (synthetic or artificial). Chenille is a yarn with a soft, fuzzy core from which short fibres protrude, creating a caterpillar-like effect. Chenille fabrics are valued for their soft touch, rich texture and thermal insulation properties. They are used in producing bedspreads, blankets, curtains, upholstery fabrics, dressing gowns and decorative towels. Man-made fibres include polyester, acrylic, viscose and polyamide. Classification requires confirming that chenille yarn is the main structural element and that the raw material is man-made fibres rather than cotton or wool.
Textile Regulation and REACH
Chenille fabrics of man-made fibres are subject to Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 for fibre composition labelling. Labels must precisely specify the type of man-made fibre, such as polyester, acrylic or viscose. Dyeing and finishing processes are subject to REACH, with particular attention to restrictions on azo dyes, formaldehyde and flame retardants. Upholstery fabrics may need to meet flammability standards specified by national regulations of individual member states. Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 on persistent organic pollutants restricts certain flame retardants in textiles. OEKO-TEX certification ensures chemical safety compliance.
Trade and import
Importing chenille fabrics requires an invoice with product description, fibre composition certificate, origin documents and textile regulation compliance declarations. Major suppliers include Turkey, China, India and Belgium. Turkey is a particularly strong exporter of upholstery and decorative chenille. Transport in bales or rolls on pallets in dry containers with moisture protection. Rules of origin for man-made fibre fabrics typically require fabric manufacturing from yarn in the beneficiary country. Preferential rates available under EU agreements with Turkey (customs union) and other partners.
Special chenille fabrics of man-made fabrics CN 5801 36 in trade
CN code 580136 covers chenille fabrics of man-made 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
How to correctly label a chenille fabric from a fibre blend?
The label must list all fibres in descending order of weight percentage, e.g. 60 percent polyester, 40 percent acrylic. If no fibre accounts for more than 85 percent, at least two main fibres must be stated with their percentages or with the words other fibres.
Must chenille upholstery fabrics meet flammability standards?
Flammability requirements depend on the national regulations of the member state where the fabric is sold. The UK applies the Furniture and Furnishings regulations with BS 5852 and BS 7176. Other countries apply EN 1021 standards for resistance to cigarette and match ignition.
Which flame retardants are banned in fabrics?
Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 on persistent organic pollutants prohibits HBCDD, PBDEs and other brominated flame retardants in textiles. REACH Annex XVII restricts further substances. Importers should require suppliers to provide declarations confirming the absence of prohibited substances.
How to correctly classify chenille fabrics of man-made CN 5801 36?
Classification under CN 5801 36 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.
