This category includes badges, emblems, "flashes", etc., of a kind normally sewn to the outer part of wearing apparel (sporting, military, local or national badges, etc., badges bearing the names of youth associations, sailors' cap badges with the name of a ship, etc.).

This heading does not include labels, badges and similar articles, which have been embroidered (heading 58.10) or made up otherwise than by cutting to shape or size (heading 61.17, 62.17 or 63.07).
