5408.22.90.30 - Weighing not more than 170 g/m² (618)

This HTS category, 5408.22.90.30, specifically classifies woven fabrics manufactured from artificial filament yarn. These fabrics are characterized by containing 85 percent or more by weight of artificial filament or strip. Furthermore, the fabrics within this subdivision are dyed and have a specific weight not exceeding 170 grams per square meter, as indicated by the "(618)" annotation. This group encompasses a wide range of artificial filament woven goods that meet these precise material composition and processing criteria.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 5408.22.90.60, lies solely in the fabric's weight. While both are dyed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn with a high artificial filament content, this particular classification applies only to those fabrics weighing **not more than** 170 g/m². The sibling category covers fabrics that are heavier, exceeding this 170 g/m² threshold. This weight specification is a critical factor in differentiating between these closely related classifications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this point based on the established criteria of material composition (85% or more artificial filament), fabric construction (woven), processing (dyed), and specific weight (not exceeding 170 g/m²). Examples of goods that would fall here include lightweight artificial silk scarves, fine artificial chiffon dress fabrics, and certain types of artificial filament linings.
