5906.99.25.00 - Other (229)

This HTS category, 5906.99.25.00, encompasses textile fabrics that are rubberized, coated, covered, or laminated, excluding those specifically classified under heading 5902. The "Other" designation within this sub-classification indicates fabrics not meeting the criteria of the preceding sibling category. Specifically, these are textile fabrics where the rubber or plastics component constitutes 70 percent or less by weight. The materials are typically man-made fibers, and their industrial application is a key characteristic.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 5906.99.20.00, by the proportion of rubber or plastics. While 5906.99.20.00 specifically covers fabrics where rubber or plastics exceed 70 percent by weight, this category, 5906.99.25.00, applies to fabrics where the rubber or plastics content is 70 percent or less by weight. Both categories fall under the broader scope of "other" rubberized textile fabrics of man-made fibers.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification under 5906.99.25.00 rests on confirming that the textile fabric is indeed rubberized, coated, covered, or laminated; is made of man-made fibers; and that the weight of the rubber or plastic material is 70 percent or less of the total weight of the fabric. Examples might include certain types of coated industrial canvas or specialized technical textiles used in manufacturing processes where flexibility and a degree of protection are required but the primary material remains the textile itself.
