5901.10.10.00 - Of man-made fibers (229)

This HTS category, 5901.10.10.00, specifically covers textile fabrics coated with gum or amylaceous substances that are designed for use as outer covers for books or similar applications. This includes materials where the coating provides stiffness and a surface suitable for printing, binding, or other book-making processes. Examples include specialized coated fabrics used for bookbinding boards, slipcases, or decorative coverings where a certain level of rigidity and durability is required.

Within the broader heading of "Textile fabrics coated with gum or amylaceous substances, of a kind used for the outer covers of books or the like," this subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 5901.10.20.00, which covers "Other" uses of such coated fabrics. This means that 5901.10.10.00 is precisely for those fabrics intended for book covers, while the sibling category encompasses other applications of similar coated textiles not specifically for book production.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5901.10.10.00 hinges entirely on the intended use of the coated textile fabric as an outer cover for books or similar items. The physical properties imparted by the gum or amylaceous coating, such as stiffness and surface finish, are key determiners for classification under this specific code.
