5801.37.50 - Cut

This HTS category, 5801.37.50, specifically covers cut warp pile fabrics made from man-made fibers. These fabrics are characterized by a pile that has been severed, creating a soft, plush surface. Unlike their uncut counterparts, these fabrics are distinguished by the cutting of the warp loops to form the pile.

The key distinction from its sibling category, 5801.37.10.00 (Epinglé, uncut), lies in the treatment of the pile. While both are warp pile fabrics of man-made fibers, this category exclusively deals with those where the loops have been cut, resulting in a distinct texture and appearance compared to the looped pile of epinglé fabrics.

Within this category, further distinctions are made based on weight. Subcategories 5801.37.50.10 and 5801.37.50.20 differentiate between fabrics that weigh over 271 grams per square meter and all other cut warp pile fabrics of man-made fibers, respectively. This weight distinction is a common criterion for further classification within textile headings, often reflecting differences in intended use or manufacturing complexity.
