Overview
This HTS classification, 5803.00.90.90, covers "Other" gauze fabrics, specifically those not falling under previous subheadings within 5803.00. The core characteristic of these goods is their open weave structure, typically lightweight and loosely woven, distinct from other fabrics of Chapter 58. This category encompasses gauze made from a variety of textile materials that do not meet the specific silk content criteria of its sibling.
It's crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 5803.00.90.10, which exclusively classifies gauze fabrics containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Therefore, 5803.00.90.90 serves as a residual category for all other gauze fabrics not predominantly composed of silk. Classification here relies on the absence of the specific silk concentration requirement of the sibling category, focusing instead on the general characteristics of gauze made from other fibers or blends.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is determined by meeting the general definition of gauze within heading 5803 and not falling into the more specific silk-based sibling category. Practical application would involve verifying the textile composition of the gauze to ensure it does not meet the 85% silk threshold for the preceding subheading.
