Overview
This classification, HTS 5407.92.10, pertains to other woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that are dyed and are mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair, but do not contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. These fabrics are characterized by the presence of synthetic filaments forming the primary structure, combined with a significant proportion of wool or fine animal hair, creating a blended textile. The "Other" designation signifies that this category captures woven fabrics not specifically accounted for in more narrowly defined subheadings at this level.
This specific subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 5407.92.05, by the precise quantitative composition of wool or fine animal hair. While both subheadings cover dyed woven fabrics with synthetic filaments mixed with wool or fine animal hair, 5407.92.10 is for those where the wool or fine animal hair content is less than 36 percent by weight. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application, as it reflects a differing material composition that may influence trade agreements or duties.
The subcategories within HTS 5407.92.10 further refine the classification based on the processing of the wool or fine animal hair component. 5407.92.10.10 applies to fabrics where the wool or fine animal hair is not combed, meaning it retains a more natural state. Conversely, 5407.92.10.20 covers fabrics where the wool or fine animal hair has undergone a combing process, resulting in a smoother, more uniform fiber suitable for higher-end textiles. This differentiation acknowledges the impact of processing on the final fabric's characteristics and potential end-use.
