5606.00.00.90 - Other (201)

This HTS category, 5606.00.00.90, encompasses "other" gimped yarn, chenille yarn, and loop wale-yarn not otherwise specified within heading 5606. Gimped yarn is characterized by having ornamental threads twisted around a core yarn, creating a textured or decorative effect. Chenille yarn, often referred to as "caterpillar yarn," is produced by cutting loops from a woven fabric and then twisting them into a yarn, resulting in a soft, fuzzy pile. Loop wale-yarn is formed by creating loops along the length of the yarn. These yarns are distinct from those classified in sibling categories based on specific material compositions or functionalities.

This classification serves as a residual category for gimped yarn, chenille yarn, and loop wale-yarn that do not meet the criteria for specific subheadings. For instance, it excludes gimped yarn or strip of heading 5404 or 5405 that are specifically designed for or used as artificial or man-made staple fibers, or whose primary function is ornamental. It also differentiates itself from any potential subcategories by covering the general "other" instances of these yarn types.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, the classification of goods under 5606.00.00.90 relies on a thorough examination of the product's construction, appearance, and intended use to confirm it fits the description of gimped, chenille, or loop wale-yarn and does not fall under any more specific HTS provision. Examples of goods that might fall here include specialty craft yarns with looped structures not containing elastomeric filaments, or decorative yarns where the gimping or pile effect is not the primary defining characteristic addressed in other subheadings.
