5903.10.25.00 - Other (229)

This classification covers textile fabrics that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics, specifically poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), and are of man-made fibers. The key characteristic is that these fabrics are *not* predominantly composed of rubber or plastics by weight. Instead, they are fundamentally textile fabrics that have undergone a PVC treatment or application, making them suitable for various industrial uses.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 5903.10.20. The primary differentiator lies in the weight percentage of rubber or plastics. While 5903.10.20 encompasses fabrics where rubber or plastics constitute over 70 percent of the weight, this category applies to those where the textile material remains the dominant component by weight, with PVC being applied or integrated.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5903.10.25.00 hinges directly on the precise nature of the PVC impregnation, coating, covering, or lamination and its adherence to the man-made fiber textile fabric base, ensuring that the rubber or plastics do not exceed the 70% weight threshold. Examples might include PVC-coated nylon fabrics used for awnings or certain industrial protective clothing where the textile weave is still clearly discernible.
