5408.22.90.60 - Weighing more than 170 g/m² (618)

This HTS category, 5408.22.90.60, specifically classifies woven fabrics manufactured from artificial filament yarn that weigh more than 170 grams per square meter. These fabrics fall under the broader umbrella of woven fabrics made from artificial filament or strip, which constitute 85 percent or more of their weight, and have been dyed. This classification is crucial for identifying heavier-weight, dyed woven fabrics intended for various industrial, apparel, or home furnishing applications, distinguishing them from lighter-weight counterparts.

The key differentiator for this subcategory, 5408.22.90.60, from its sibling, 5408.22.90.30, is the quantitative measure of weight. While both categories pertain to dyed woven fabrics composed primarily of artificial filament, this specific classification is reserved for those exceeding the 170 g/m² threshold. This distinction in weight is a primary factor in determining the fabric's intended use, durability, and manufacturing processes, which are critical for accurate customs assessment.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5408.22.90.60 is final based on the described criteria: it must be a woven fabric of artificial filament yarn, contain at least 85% artificial filament or strip by weight, be dyed, and weigh more than 170 grams per square meter. Examples of goods that might fall here include heavier-weight artificial silk satins, durable artificial taffetas, or robust artificial crepes where the weight is a defining characteristic.
