Overview
This HTS category, 5906.99.20.00, encompasses textile fabrics that are rubberized or coated with plastics, where rubber or plastics constitute over 70 percent of the item's weight. These fabrics are distinct from those of heading 5902, which specifically pertains to tire cord fabric. The "other" designations at the 5906.99 level indicate that these fabrics do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within heading 5906.
Within the broader category of "other rubberized textile fabrics," this specific code is further refined by the material composition. It is differentiated from other "other" categories at the same level by its focus on fabrics not otherwise specified. It is crucial to distinguish this category from other "other" classifications that might cover different percentages of rubber or plastic, or fabrics made from different fiber types.
Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 5906.99.20.00 hinges on meeting the primary criteria: the textile fabric is rubberized or coated with plastics, and the weight of the rubber or plastic component exceeds 70% of the total weight. Examples may include certain types of waterproof sheeting, coated industrial fabrics, or specialized membranes where the rubber or plastic significantly outweighs the textile substrate.
