This heading covers woven fabrics (as defined in Part (¥°) (C) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI) of the metallised yarns of heading 56.05, and also woven fabrics of the metal threads of Section XIV or XV, provided they are fabrics of a kind used for clothing, furnishing or similar purposes, and are not specified or included elsewhere, in particular in any of the preceding headings of this Chapter.
Fabrics containing metal thread or metallised yarns together with other textile yarns are classified here provided the metal thread or metallised yarn exceeds the weight of any other textile. For this purpose the metallised yarn is taken as a single textile material and its weight taken as the aggregate of the weight of the textile fibres and metal it contains (see Part (¥°) (A) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI). The heading excludes woven fabrics not of a kind used for clothing, furnishing or similar purposes, e.g., wire gauze or woven cloth of iron, steel, copper, aluminium, precious metals, etc. (headings 71.15, 73.14, 74.19, 76.16, etc.).
