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.

Classification and features

CN code 580620 covers narrow woven fabrics (up to 30 cm wide) containing at least 5 percent by weight of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, excluding articles of heading 5804. These are woven elastic bands and tapes used in lingerie, sportswear, orthopaedic products, haberdashery and technical applications. Elastomers such as elastane (Lycra), natural latex or synthetic rubber give the fabric stretch and recovery properties. Classification requires confirming elastomer content of at least 5 percent by weight and narrow width up to 30 cm.

Regulations and safety

Elastic tapes are subject to Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 requiring fibre composition declarations including elastomer. REACH regulates chemical substances in rubber and elastane. Natural latex is subject to allergen regulations and articles containing latex must be appropriately labelled. Tapes for lingerie must meet skin contact safety requirements. Azo dyes and formaldehyde are restricted. Tapes for medical devices are subject to medical device regulations (MDR). REACH also restricts phthalates and other plasticisers in rubber.

Trade and import

Importing elastic tapes requires customs documentation with specifications, fibre composition and origin documents. Major suppliers include China, Taiwan, Turkey and India. Transport in boxes on spools or in bales on pallets. Quality control covers elasticity, cyclic stretch durability, colour fastness and dimensions.

Special narrow fabrics with elastomeric fabrics CN 5806 20 in trade

CN code 580620 covers narrow fabrics with elastomeric 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 applications do narrow elastic fabrics have?
Narrow elastic fabrics are used in lingerie, sportswear, trouser waistbands, hair bands, orthopaedic products, conveyor belts and technical applications. Elastic bands are a key component in the clothing and footwear industries.
Do articles with natural latex require special labelling?
Yes. Articles containing natural latex should be labelled with latex presence information due to allergy risk. Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 requires latex labelling. In clothing, latex information is recommended by industry safety standards.
What test standards apply to elastic tapes?
Tests include tensile strength (EN ISO 13934), elasticity and recovery, cyclic stretch durability, and colour fastness to washing and rubbing (ISO 105). Medical products additionally require ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards.
How to correctly classify narrow fabrics with elastomeric CN 5806 20?
Classification under CN 5806 20 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.
