5801.90.10.00 - Of vegetable fibers, except cotton (810)

This HTS category, 5801.90.10.00, specifically classifies woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, excluding those of cotton, that are manufactured from vegetable fibers other than cotton. This includes fabrics where the pile or loops are formed from such materials as flax, ramie, jute, or hemp, but not from cotton, synthetic, or artificial fibers, which fall under different headings. The key defining characteristic is the presence of raised loops or cut pile on one or both sides of the fabric, created through specialized weaving techniques.

Within the broader heading 5801, which covers woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, this subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, 5801.90.20, which is designated for "Other" textile materials. While 5801.90.10.00 is focused solely on vegetable fibers (excluding cotton), the "Other" category would encompass fabrics made from blends of various fibers, or those where the dominant pile-forming material is neither cotton nor a single type of vegetable fiber.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 5801.90.10.00. Therefore, classification within this specific code relies entirely on accurately identifying the fabric as a woven pile or chenille fabric, and confirming that it is composed of vegetable fibers other than cotton. Examples of goods that would fall under this category include upholstery fabrics with a jute pile, or decorative fabrics featuring raised loops made from ramie fibers.
