5602.90.60.00 - Of man-made fibers (223) 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 5602.90.60.00, specifically classifies felt, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated, that is *other* than those made from other materials and is composed *of man-made fibers*. This designation captures a wide range of felted materials where the primary constituent fibers are synthetic, such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, or rayon. These materials are produced by entangling fibers, rather than weaving or knitting, and are then consolidated through mechanical, thermal, or chemical processes.

The key distinction for this classification lies in its material composition. While the parent category 5602.90 covers "Other" felt not meeting the definitions of specific types, this subcategory narrows the scope to felt made exclusively from man-made fibers. This differentiates it from sibling categories that might encompass felt made from natural fibers or blends where natural fibers are predominant.

As a leaf node, 5602.90.60.00 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification at this level is on verifying that the felt meets the general description of felt and is indeed composed of man-made fibers. Examples of goods falling under this classification could include certain types of industrial felt used for filtration, sound dampening, or insulation, provided they are made from synthetic fibers.
