5408.23.29 - Other

This HTS category, 5408.23.29, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that are not specifically defined by other subheadings within 5408.23. These fabrics must contain 85 percent or more by weight of artificial filament or strip and are characterized by being woven from yarns of different colors. The key defining characteristic for inclusion in this specific subheading is the absence of classification under more granular sibling categories.

The primary sibling category, 5408.23.21, specifically covers woven fabrics of cuprammonium rayon. Therefore, 5408.23.29 is distinguished by including all other woven fabrics meeting the general criteria of artificial filament content and varied yarn colors, excluding those made from cuprammonium rayon. This residual nature means this category acts as a catch-all for eligible fabrics not detailed elsewhere.

To provide further clarity and facilitate precise classification, this category is further subdivided based on the fabric's weight per square meter. Subcategory 5408.23.29.30 covers such fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m², while 5408.23.29.60 pertains to those weighing more than 170 g/m². This distinction is crucial for determining the correct tariff treatment, as fabric weight is a common differentiating factor in textile classifications.
