Overview
This classification, HTS Code 5309.29.40.90, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics of flax that contain less than 85 percent by weight of flax, and fall under the broader subcategory of "Other" after more specific criteria have been applied. Essentially, these are flax-based woven fabrics not meeting the specific conditions of other subheadings within this chapter. The key defining characteristic remains the flax content, which, while significant, does not reach the 85% threshold, and the fabric's construction or specific characteristics do not align with more granular classifications.
This particular "Other" category is distinguished from its sibling, 5309.29.40.10, which specifically covers woven fabrics of flax with a width exceeding 127 cm. Therefore, HTS 5309.29.40.90 would apply to woven flax fabrics containing less than 85% flax by weight that are either 127 cm or less in width, or whose width is not a determining factor for their classification within this "Other" subdivision. The exclusion of width as a primary differentiator is what sets this residual category apart.
As this node is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into HTS 5309.29.40.90 signifies that the imported woven fabric of flax, with less than 85% flax content, has been thoroughly reviewed against all preceding, more specific descriptions within Chapter 53 and determined to fit best within this residual "Other" classification. This implies that the fabric's unique properties, such as weave type, finishing, or end-use, while not explicitly detailed in the preceding subheadings, lead it to this terminal classification.
