5408.23.29.30 - Weighing not more than 170 g/m² (618)

This HTS classification, 5408.23.29.30, specifically covers woven fabrics manufactured from artificial filament yarns. These fabrics are characterized by weighing no more than 170 grams per square meter and are composed of yarns of different colors, aligning with the broader category of "Other woven fabrics, containing 85 percent or more by weight of artificial filament or strip or the like." The "Other" designation at this level indicates that these fabrics do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within this broad grouping, and their colored yarn composition is a defining feature.

The key differentiator for this category, compared to its sibling 5408.23.29.60, lies solely in the weight per square meter. While both are woven fabrics of artificial filament yarns with yarns of different colors, 5408.23.29.30 applies to those weighing *not more than* 170 g/m², whereas the sibling category applies to fabrics weighing *more than* 170 g/m². This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declarations and duty assessment.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is final based on the material composition (artificial filament yarn), construction (woven), and the specific weight criterion (not exceeding 170 g/m²), combined with the characteristic of using yarns of different colors. Examples of goods that might fall under this classification include lightweight apparel fabrics, linings, or decorative textiles where the contrast in yarn colors is a prominent visual attribute.
