CN Explanatory Notes
The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.
5007 20 11 and 5007 20 19 · Crêpes
These subheadings cover fabrics which are usually light and whose grained or crinkled appearance in the finished state results from the use of crêpe yarns, i.e., high-twist yarns (usually 2 000 to 3 600 turns per metre), which have a natural tendency to loop.
These yarns may be used in the warp or the weft or in both, either alone or combined with low-twist yarns. Yarns of opposite twist are often alternated i.e., yarns with a ‘S’ twist are followed by yarns with a ‘Z’ twist in order to orientate in an opposite direction the twisting tendency of the adjoining yarns, thus ensuring the balance of the crimping.
These subheadings cover true crêpes, i.e., those in which at least either the warp or the weft is for the most part of crêpe yarn. The most well-known are crêpe de chine, marocain, georgette, satin crêpe, charmeuse crêpe and chiffon crêpe.
Fabrics which are crêped on one side only or on a part of their surface (bands, stripes or patterns) are also classified in these subheadings.
These subheadings do not cover fabrics in which the crêpe effect is obtained otherwise than by using crêpe yarns, for example, those in which the crêped appearance results from the combined use of special weaves (for example, ‘sable’) and of yarns of different size and twist.
