5407.42.00.30 - Weighing not more than 170 g/m² (620)

This HTS category, 5407.42.00.30, specifically classifies woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic filament yarns, with a particular emphasis on those composed of 85 percent or more by weight of nylon or other polyamide filaments. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is that the fabric *weighs not more than 170 grams per square meter*. These fabrics are intended for a wide range of applications due to their inherent strength, durability, and aesthetic qualities, commonly found in apparel, home furnishings, and industrial textiles.

The crucial distinction for this category lies in its weight limitation. It is differentiated from its sibling, HTS 5407.42.00.60, solely by the fabric's weight. While both subcategories pertain to dyed woven fabrics of nylon or other polyamide filaments, 5407.42.00.30 applies to lighter-weight materials (less than or equal to 170 g/m²), whereas 5407.42.00.60 covers heavier fabrics exceeding this threshold. This weight distinction is a key physical characteristic used for precise classification.

As this HTS classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 5407.42.00.30. Therefore, classification is finalized at this level based on the material composition (nylon/polyamide filaments at 85% or more by weight), the fabric construction (woven from synthetic filament yarn), its dyeing status, and critically, its weight not exceeding 170 grams per square meter.
