In plain English

This category covers woven fabrics made from metal thread and metallized yarn that are intended for use in clothing, home furnishings, or similar applications. These items must not be classified elsewhere under the tariff schedule. The specific classification for these goods is determined by a single subheading that encompasses all such woven fabrics meeting these criteria.
