5906.91.30.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 5906.91.30.00, specifically addresses "other" knitted or crocheted textile fabrics that have been rubberized, coated, or covered, excluding those specifically classified under heading 5902. The "other" designation signifies that these fabrics do not fall under the more specific material classifications found within this same level. This includes knitted or crocheted fabrics made from materials not explicitly enumerated, such as certain vegetable fibers, silk, or animal hair, which have undergone treatment with rubber or similar substances for industrial applications.

The key distinction for this subcategory lies in its material composition relative to its siblings. While 5906.91.10.00 covers rubberized knitted or crocheted fabrics of cotton, and the subsequent sibling category focuses on man-made fibers, 5906.91.30.00 serves as a residual category for knitted or crocheted fabrics treated with rubber that are not derived from cotton or exclusively from man-made fibers. Classification relies on the predominant fiber content if mixed, or the specific fiber if it's not cotton or a clear man-made fiber.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification within 5906.91.30.00 is determined by the precise nature of the textile fabric and its rubberized or coated treatment. Examples may include specialized industrial fabrics used in the manufacturing of conveyor belts, hoses, or protective coverings where the unique properties of knitted or crocheted construction combined with rubberization are essential for performance. Importers must ensure accurate documentation of the fiber content and the specific rubberizing or coating process to facilitate correct customs clearance.
