5802.30.00.90 - Other (810)

This HTS code, 5802.30.00.90, pertains to "other" tufted textile fabrics. Tufted fabrics are characterized by the creation of loops or cut piles on a backing fabric, giving them a raised, textured appearance. This category encompasses tufted textile fabrics that do not fall under the specific material-based subcategories listed within heading 5802.30.00.

Specifically, this classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by excluding tufted fabrics that are predominantly composed of silk or silk waste (5802.30.00.10), or those made from wool or fine animal hair (5802.30.00.20). It also does not include tufted fabrics primarily made of cotton or man-made fibers, which are classified under 5802.30.00.30. Therefore, this residual category is for tufted textile fabrics where the material composition does not meet the specific criteria of the preceding subheadings.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 5802.30.00.90. Classification into this category relies on a thorough examination of the fabric's construction and material to ensure it is indeed tufted and does not meet the criteria for the more specific sibling entries. Examples might include specialized tufted fabrics for particular industrial applications or decorative uses where the primary fiber content does not align with the more common classifications.
