5408.22.90 - Other

This HTS category, 5408.22.90, covers "Other" dyed woven fabrics composed of artificial filament yarn, specifically those containing 85 percent or more by weight of artificial filament or strip. The key defining characteristic is the material composition and the dyeing process. This classification is residual, meaning it encompasses dyed woven fabrics of artificial filament that do not fall under more specific categories at the same level.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5408.22.10.00, is crucial. The sibling category specifically addresses dyed woven fabrics of cuprammonium rayon. Therefore, 5408.22.90 would apply to all other dyed woven fabrics meeting the 85% artificial filament content, excluding those made from cuprammonium rayon.

This classification is further subdivided based on the weight of the fabric per square meter. Subcategory 5408.22.90.30 applies to such fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m², while subcategory 5408.22.90.60 is for those weighing more than 170 g/m². These weight distinctions are important for import duties and trade statistics, reflecting differences in fabric density and potential end-use applications.
