5602.90.30.00 - Laminated fabrics (223)

This HTS classification covers laminated fabrics that are not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 5602. Laminated fabrics, in this context, refer to textiles that have been joined together with an adhesive or a bonding agent to create a composite material. This process can involve bonding a textile fabric to a plastic film, a metal foil, another textile fabric, or a non-textile material. The key characteristic is the deliberate lamination to achieve specific functional properties such as increased strength, water resistance, breathability, or aesthetic appeal.

As a leaf node within the "Other" subcategory of felt, this classification specifically captures laminated articles that do not fall under any more granular provisions for felt. Therefore, the primary distinction from potential siblings would be the absence of a specific mention of "felt" in its composition or manufacturing process, or if the lamination itself becomes the defining characteristic for classification purposes rather than the underlying felt material. The lamination process inherently alters the properties of the base textile, and this heading focuses on those composite structures when they are not otherwise specified.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 5602.90.30.00 is therefore determined by the presence of lamination and the exclusion from more specific provisions. Practical classification considerations would involve examining the materials used in the lamination, the method of application, and the overall structure and intended use of the finished product to ensure it meets the criteria for this residual classification.
