5408.10.00.00 - Woven fabrics obtained from high tenacity yarn of viscose rayon (618)

This HTS category encompasses woven fabrics specifically manufactured from high-tenacity yarn derived from viscose rayon. High tenacity, in this context, refers to yarn possessing a significantly higher tensile strength than standard viscose rayon yarn, typically achieved through specialized manufacturing processes. These fabrics are distinguished by their inherent strength and durability, making them suitable for applications where such properties are paramount. The classification is precise, focusing on the material source (viscose rayon) and the specific yarn characteristic (high tenacity).

Within the broader chapter of "Man-made filaments," this heading differentiates itself from its siblings. It is distinct from "Other woven fabrics, containing 85 percent or more by weight of artificial filament or strip or the like" because the primary defining characteristic here is the *high tenacity* of the viscose rayon yarn, rather than solely the weight percentage of artificial filament. Furthermore, it is separate from "Other woven fabrics" which would encompass a wider range of artificial filament woven fabrics not meeting the specific criteria of high tenacity viscose rayon or the 85% artificial filament threshold of the other sibling.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5408.10.00.00 is determined by the presence of woven fabrics made from high tenacity viscose rayon yarn. Examples of such fabrics might include those used in industrial applications like tire cord, conveyor belts, or other products requiring exceptional tensile strength and resistance to stretching. The key determinant for classification here is the material composition and the specific property of the yarn used.
