5806.10.28.00 - Other (229)

This HTS category, 5806.10.28.00, encompasses "Other" narrow woven fabrics that are of man-made fibers and have a woven pile construction, excluding those classified under heading 5807. This specifically includes woven pile fabrics, such as terry toweling and similar terry fabrics, as well as chenille fabrics, that do not fall into more specific subcategories within heading 5806.10. The key characteristic is the presence of loops or cut pile that creates a raised, plush surface, formed by weaving techniques.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5806.10.24.00 (Fastener fabric tapes), is crucial. Fastener fabric tapes are specifically designed for use as part of fastening systems, often featuring interlocking elements or a hook-and-loop structure. In contrast, the goods within 5806.10.28.00 are distinguished by their pile construction and are not primarily intended for fastening purposes. Their utility lies in their texture, absorbency, decorative qualities, or other fabric-specific attributes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification for goods falling under 5806.10.28.00 is determined by meeting the criteria of being a narrow woven fabric of man-made fibers with a pile construction, and not fitting into any more specific provision for fastener tapes or other related items within heading 5806. Examples might include specialized decorative chenille fabrics, high-pile fabrics for upholstery or crafts, or terry cloth without specific end-use restrictions for towels.
