5608.11.00.90 - Other (229) 🖩

This HTS category, 5608.11.00.90, encompasses made-up fishing nets constructed from man-made textile materials that are not specifically classified under the "hand-cast string-drawn" subcategory. This includes a wide variety of fishing nets designed for commercial or recreational use, which have been assembled or manufactured into a functional netting product. The key defining characteristic is their intended purpose for catching fish or other aquatic organisms.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5608.11.00.10, is crucial. The sibling category specifically addresses hand-cast string-drawn fishing nets, implying a particular method of construction or deployment. Therefore, category 5608.11.00.90 is for all other made-up fishing nets of man-made fibers that do not fit the specific description of hand-cast string-drawn nets. This residual classification ensures all eligible fishing nets are accounted for.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under this code relies on the net being made from man-made textile materials, being a made-up fishing net, and not falling under the more specific sibling category. Practical examples could include gillnets, trawlnets, seines, and cast nets that are not constructed using the hand-cast string-drawn method. The material composition and the finished, functional form as a fishing net are the primary classification determinants.
