5806.10.30.90 - Other (899) 🖩

This HTS category, 5806.10.30.90, encompasses "other" woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics that do not fall under the more specific subheadings within 5806.10. This means it covers a broad range of textile materials characterized by loops (pile) or cut pile, as well as fabrics with a fuzzy, carpet-like appearance created by weft loops, commonly known as chenille. These fabrics are typically distinguished by their textured surface and are often used for upholstery, decorative textiles, and apparel.

To classify goods under this subheading, it's crucial to differentiate them from sibling categories. Subheading 5806.10.30.10 specifically covers woven pile and chenille fabrics composed of 85% or more by weight of silk or silk waste, which have a distinct luxurious feel and sheen. Similarly, subheading 5806.10.30.20 is reserved for those fabrics made of wool or fine animal hair, possessing different tactile qualities and thermal properties. If a woven pile or chenille fabric does not meet the material composition requirements for silk or wool, it will fall into this residual "other" category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods under 5806.10.30.90 relies on the precise definition of woven pile fabrics (including terry toweling and similar terry fabrics) and chenille fabrics, and the exclusion from the more specific sibling categories based on fiber content. This residual classification ensures all remaining woven pile and chenille fabrics are properly accounted for within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
