5603.14.90.90 - Other (223)

This HTS classification covers nonwoven textile materials made from man-made filaments that weigh more than 150 grams per square meter, and which are not specifically described in other categories at this level. These materials are characterized by their construction from webs of fibers or filaments bonded together by mechanical entanglement, chemical adhesion, or thermal bonding. The "Other" designation indicates that these nonwovens do not fit into more specific sub-classifications based on their treatment or intended use, such as being impregnated or coated with particular substances.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 5603.14.90.10, by its lack of specific impregnation or coating with materials like rubber or plastics, and by not meeting the criteria for "imitation suede." While sibling categories might detail nonwovens based on their surface treatments or specific aesthetic properties, this "Other" classification serves as a residual category for nonwovens of man-made filaments exceeding the specified weight threshold that do not fall into those more narrowly defined groups.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 5603.14.90.90. Classification into this code requires careful consideration of the material's weight (exceeding 150 g/m²) and its composition of man-made filaments. It is essential to confirm that the nonwoven does not possess any specific treatments or characteristics that would warrant classification under a more detailed heading or subheading.
