Overview
This category encompasses woven fabrics manufactured from artificial filament yarn, specifically those not obtained from the artificial monofilaments of heading 5405. It includes a broad range of woven artificial filament fabrics that fall outside more specific subheadings within heading 5408. The key characteristic is the use of artificial filament yarn as the primary component in their construction, woven into a fabric structure.
Distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. The sibling category "Mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair" specifically identifies fabrics where wool or fine animal hair constitutes the principal component by weight. This current category, however, covers woven fabrics where artificial filament yarn is dominant, but *not* mixed with wool or fine animal hair.
Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory "Mixed mainly or solely with synthetic filaments" distinguishes fabrics where synthetic filaments are blended with artificial filaments. The remaining "Other" subcategory serves as a residual for woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that are not specifically covered by the "mixed with synthetic filaments" subdivision or any other more granular classifications. This allows for the accurate categorization of a wide array of woven artificial filament fabrics based on their material composition.
