5408.33.10.00 - Other (624)

This classification, HTS 5408.33.10.00, specifically addresses woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that are comprised of yarns of different colors and are mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair. The key defining characteristic is the presence of both artificial filament yarn, dyed in different colors to create a patterned or multi-toned effect in the fabric, and a significant proportion of wool or fine animal hair. This implies a blend where the visual aspect of color variation from the artificial yarns is a prominent feature, alongside the tactile and thermal properties contributed by the wool or fine animal hair.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS 5408.33.05, by the proportion of wool or fine animal hair. While 5408.33.05 covers fabrics containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, this category is for woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn of different colors where the wool or fine animal hair content is present but does not necessarily meet the 36% threshold, or where the "mainly or solely" indicates a compositional focus that distinguishes it from the higher percentage requirement of the sibling. The emphasis here is on the mixed coloration being a primary characteristic alongside the wool/hair blend.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on a precise determination of the fabric's composition and the visual characteristic of yarns dyed in different colors. Importers and exporters should ensure that the fabric meets the criteria of being woven from artificial filament yarn, exhibits coloration derived from yarns of different colors, and includes wool or fine animal hair in a manner that aligns with the "mixed mainly or solely" qualifier, differentiating it from fabrics with a more dominant wool/fine animal hair content as outlined in sibling categories.
