Chapter 58 covers special woven fabrics, tufted textile fabrics, lace, tapestries, trimmings, embroidery: decorative and technical fabric constructions distinct from the plain woven and knitted fabrics in chapters 52-55 and 60. Classification tip: Embroidered fabric is classified under this chapter as a fabric, but once it's cut and sewn into a finished garment or article, it reclassifies under whichever apparel or made-up-article chapter matches the finished product.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.
Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

Heading 58.04 covers tulles and other net fabrics; not including woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics; lace in the piece, in strips or in motifs, (other than fabrics of headings 60.02 to 60.06). It is part of chapter 58 (fabrics; special woven fabrics, tufted textile fabrics, lace, tapestries, trimmings, embroidery), and it is subdivided into 4 six-digit subheadings — the level you actually declare.
Pick one of the 4 subheadings below. Those six digits are what customs recognises internationally; the importing country may extend them to eight or ten in its own tariff schedule.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section XI and to chapter 58. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.
A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
