5309.21.30.90 - Other (810)

This HTS subcategory, 5309.21.30.90, specifically classifies woven fabrics of flax that contain less than 85% by weight of flax. Further, these fabrics are unbleached or bleached, and they fall under the "Other" designation within that group. The defining characteristic for this particular classification is that these fabrics also contain both cotton and man-made fibers in addition to flax.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. The sibling categories at this level, "Subject to cotton restraints" and "Subject to man-made fiber restraints," are differentiated by specific trade restrictions. This current subcategory, "Containing cotton and man-made fibers," is defined by its material composition rather than existing trade limitations. Therefore, a fabric meeting the flax and bleaching criteria would be classified here unless it is also subject to specific cotton or man-made fiber restraint considerations that would direct it to a sibling node.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification at this level is definitive based on the combination of material composition (less than 85% flax, containing cotton and man-made fibers), fabric type (woven), and processing state (unbleached or bleached). Examples of goods that would fall under this classification include decorative upholstery fabrics or apparel materials where flax is a component but not the dominant fiber, and where cotton and synthetic fibers are also present.
