5806.20.00.90 - Other (229)

This HTS category, 5806.20.00.90, encompasses "other" narrow woven fabrics that meet the criteria of containing by weight 5 percent or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, but are not specifically covered by the sibling category. Essentially, these are specialized woven fabrics, typically less than 30 centimeters in width, distinguished by their inclusion of elastic components that impart stretch or shape retention. Examples would include narrow elastic tapes, ribbons, or bands used in apparel, upholstery, or industrial applications where flexibility and resilience are required.

The key differentiator for this residual category lies in its exclusion of specific sub-classifications within the broader heading for narrow woven fabrics containing elastomeric yarn or rubber thread. While its sibling, 5806.20.00.10, specifically enumerates fabrics containing elastomeric yarn, this category is for those that might contain rubber thread as the primary elastic element, or a combination of both that doesn't fall neatly into the more specific sibling. The "Other" designation signifies that it serves as a catch-all for qualifying narrow woven fabrics that possess elastic properties but are not explicitly detailed elsewhere at this level.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 5806.20.00.90 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this category relies on a thorough assessment of the fabric's construction, material composition, and the presence of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, ensuring it meets the general requirements of heading 5806 while not fitting into more precise classifications. The "Other" aspect emphasizes the need to consult the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System and any relevant Explanatory Notes to confirm its correct placement.
