Overview
Heading 5408 encompasses a broad range of woven fabrics specifically manufactured from artificial filament yarn. This category is distinct from other headings within Section XI, which might cover natural fibers, other man-made fibers, or different forms of textile products. The key defining characteristic here is the origin of the yarn: it must be artificial filament, a yarn produced from manufactured materials such as viscose rayon, acetate, or other synthetic polymers. This heading is crucial for distinguishing these artificial filament woven fabrics from those made from staple fibers or other types of yarns.
The subcategories within 5408 provide further specificity based on the composition and type of artificial filament yarn used, or the specific methods of construction. For instance, one subdivision details woven fabrics derived from high tenacity yarn of viscose rayon, highlighting the enhanced strength properties of this particular artificial filament. Other subcategories then further differentiate based on the percentage of artificial filament or strip content, or by specifying "other" woven fabrics that do not meet those precise quantitative criteria, thereby ensuring a comprehensive classification of all eligible materials.
