Overview
This HTS classification, 5407.30.10.00, specifically covers woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that are specified in Note 9 to Section XI and contain over 60 percent by weight of plastics. These fabrics are characterized by their construction from continuous man-made filaments and the significant presence of plastic, which often contributes to their functional properties such as waterproofing, rigidity, or specific surface treatments. Examples could include coated fabrics used in industrial applications, technical textiles, or certain types of awnings and tarpaulins where the plastic component is integral to the fabric's structure and performance.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 5407.30.90.00 (Other), lies in the quantitative threshold for plastic content. While both fall under woven fabrics specified in Note 9 to Section XI and are derived from synthetic filament yarn, this specific subheading requires that plastics constitute more than 60 percent by weight of the fabric. The "Other" category would encompass fabrics meeting the criteria of Note 9 and being of synthetic filament yarn, but with a plastic content of 60 percent or less by weight.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes under 5407.30.10.00 is to accurately determine the woven construction from synthetic filament yarn, ensure the fabric is covered by Note 9 to Section XI, and confirm that the plastic content by weight exceeds 60 percent.
