5807.90 Labels, badges and similar articles; (other than woven), of textile materials, in the piece, in strips or cut to shape or size, not embroidered
A full HS code. These six digits are what goes on a customs declaration, and they mean the same thing in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
Section XI, Textiles & Apparel — silk, wool, cotton, man-made fibres, fabrics, carpets and clothing.
- 58 Chapter Fabrics; special woven fabrics, tufted textile fabrics, lace, tapestries, trimmings, embroidery
- 07 Heading Labels, badges and similar articles; of textile materials, in the piece, in strips or cut to shape or size, not embroidered
- 90 Subheading Labels, badges and similar articles; (other than woven), of textile materials, in the piece, in strips or cut to shape or size, not embroidered
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.

5807.90 covers labels, badges and similar articles; (other than woven), of textile materials, in the piece, in strips or cut to shape or size, not embroidered. It sits under heading 58.07 (labels, badges and similar articles; of textile materials, in the piece, in strips or cut to shape or size, not embroidered) in chapter 58, Section XI of the Harmonized System.
It is the international part of it. Six digits are the same in every country that applies the Harmonized System; the importing country then extends them to eight or ten for its own tariff and statistics. Declare 5807.90 plus whatever national digits the destination’s tariff schedule adds to it.
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.
