Overview
This category, HTS 5903.90.30, encompasses textile fabrics that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics, and are not specifically classified under other headings within Chapter 59. The "Other" designation indicates that these fabrics do not fall under the more specific subcategories previously listed at this level, such as those made predominantly of cotton or man-made fibers.
Therefore, this classification applies to a broad range of industrial or technical fabrics where the plastic treatment is a defining characteristic, but the primary textile material is not the sole determinant of its classification. Examples might include specialized industrial fabrics treated with plastics for enhanced durability, water resistance, or chemical protection, where the base textile fiber type does not align with preceding sibling categories.
Within this classification, further distinctions are made based on the material of the underlying textile fabric. Subcategories exist for fabrics specifically composed of wool or fine animal hair (5903.90.30.10), and for all other textile materials not covered by that specific subcategory (5903.90.30.90). This hierarchical structure allows for precise tariff assessment based on the composition of the textile base used in the plastic-treated fabric.
