Overview
This HTS category encompasses unbleached woven fabrics specifically manufactured from jute or other textile bast fibers belonging to heading 5303. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is the width of the fabric, which is stipulated to be not exceeding 130 centimeters. These fabrics, in their unbleached state, are typically raw and have not undergone any bleaching or dyeing processes.
Distinction from its sibling categories is solely based on the fabric's width. While this category covers widths up to and including 130 cm, the sibling categories address wider fabrics: 5310.10.00.40 covers widths over 130 cm but not exceeding 250 cm, and 5310.10.00.60 covers widths exceeding 250 cm. Therefore, precise measurement of the fabric's width is crucial for accurate classification.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Classification at this level relies on confirming the material (jute or other bast fibers of 5303), the construction (woven fabric), the processing state (unbleached), and the exact width measurement. Examples of goods falling here might include raw burlap or hessian fabric intended for further processing such as bagging, upholstery backing, or industrial uses where the unbleached, natural state is acceptable.
