5909.00.20.00 - Other

This HTS category, 5909.00.20.00, covers textile hosepiping and similar textile tubing that are not made of vegetable fibers. This includes products constructed from synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or polyethylene, as well as regenerated cellulosics like rayon. These textile tubes may be lined, armored, or fitted with accessories made from materials other than textile or vegetable fibers, such as rubber or metal components. The primary characteristic is the textile construction of the tubing itself, intended for the conveyance of fluids or granular materials in industrial applications.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5909.00.10.00, is crucial for accurate classification. While both fall under textile hosepiping, 5909.00.10.00 specifically enumerates those constructed *primarily* from vegetable fibers, such as cotton or jute. Therefore, if the textile component of the hosepiping is not derived from vegetable sources, it will fall under this "Other" classification. The material composition of the textile element is the defining factor for differentiation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 5909.00.20.00. Classification at this level is final, based on the determination that the textile hosepiping is not of vegetable fibers. Practical classification relies on examining the constituent textile materials and confirming the absence of vegetable fiber dominance, while also verifying that the product meets the general description of textile hosepiping or tubing suitable for industrial use.
