Overview
This classification pertains to woven fabrics of other vegetable textile fibers, excluding cotton, linen, ramie, and true hemp, that are composed of both vegetable textile fibers and man-made fibers. Importantly, these fabrics are specifically subject to man-made fiber restraints, indicating that their importation may be subject to specific quotas or limitations based on the percentage or type of man-made fiber present. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff assessment and compliance with international trade agreements.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is vital for precise classification. While sibling categories like "Poplin or broadcloth," "Sheeting," and "Printcloth" define specific weave structures or common fabric types, this category focuses on the material composition and regulatory treatment of the fabric. Therefore, a fabric might be a poplin but, if it meets the criteria of containing both vegetable textile fibers and man-made fibers and is subject to man-made fiber restraints, it would be classified here rather than under the weave-specific sibling categories.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. The classification is finalized at this point, meaning that any woven fabric meeting the criteria of being made of other vegetable textile fibers and man-made fibers, and being subject to man-made fiber restraints, will fall under this specific HTS code. The "Other (220)" descriptor signifies that this is a residual category for such fabrics not specifically delineated in other sub-classifications within Chapter 53, ensuring all eligible goods are accounted for.
