5407.42.00.60 - Weighing more than 170 g/m² (620)

This HTS subcategory, 5407.42.00.60, specifically classifies dyed woven fabrics composed of 85% or more by weight of synthetic filaments of nylon or other polyamides, which have a weight exceeding 170 grams per square meter. These are generally heavier weight fabrics, often intended for applications requiring durability, such as outerwear, upholstery, luggage, or industrial textiles. The emphasis is on the fabric's composition, its method of coloration (dyed), and its substantial weight, which distinguishes it from lighter weight counterparts.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5407.42.00.30, by a critical weight criterion. While both subcategories fall under dyed woven fabrics of nylon or other polyamide filament yarns weighing more than 85% by weight, 5407.42.00.30 covers fabrics weighing *not more than* 170 g/m², whereas this category, 5407.42.00.60, exclusively includes fabrics weighing *more than* 170 g/m². This distinction in fabric density is a primary factor for accurate classification.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level are final based on the established criteria of material composition (85% or more nylon/polyamide filaments), weave type (woven fabric), dyeing process (dyed), and the specific weight threshold of over 170 g/m². Accurate determination of this weight is crucial for correct entry.
