5806.10.30 - Other

This classification pertains to woven pile fabrics, including terry toweling and similar terry fabrics, as well as chenille fabrics, that are not exclusively of cotton. These fabrics are characterized by the presence of loops or cut piles on one or both sides, created during the weaving process, or by the distinctive chenille yarn construction which gives a fuzzy, caterpillar-like appearance. The defining feature here is the pile construction, distinguishing them from flat-woven fabrics.

At the same level, sibling categories exist for woven pile and chenille fabrics. Heading 5806.10.10.00 specifically covers those composed of cotton. This current classification, however, encompasses woven pile and chenille fabrics made from materials other than cotton, including those derived from man-made fibers, silk, wool, or fine animal hair.

Within this category, further subdivisions are based on the primary fiber content. Subcategories differentiate based on the percentage of silk or silk waste, the presence of wool or fine animal hair, or if the fabric falls under a general "other" designation, typically for blends not specifically enumerated or for other textile materials. This breakdown allows for precise classification based on material composition, which is crucial for duty assessment and trade statistics.
