5911.10 - Textile fabrics, felt and felt-lined woven fabrics, coated, covered or laminated with rubber, leather or other material, of a kind used for card clothing, and similar fabrics of a kind used for other technical purposes, including narrow fabrics made of velvet impregnated with rubber, for covering weaving spindles (weaving beams):

HTS Code 5911.10 specifically encompasses textile fabrics, felt, and felt-lined woven fabrics that have been coated, covered, or laminated with materials such as rubber, leather, or other substances. These fabrics are primarily designed for technical applications, most notably for card clothing, which is used in the textile industry for carding fibers. The scope also extends to similar fabrics employed in other industrial processes, including narrow velvet fabrics impregnated with rubber for covering weaving spindles or beams.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its focus on specialized fabrics for mechanical processing and machinery components. For instance, while 5911.20 covers "bolting cloth" used for sieving or filtering, and other headings address fabrics for papermaking or oil presses, 5911.10 is for more robust, often reinforced, fabrics crucial for the physical manipulation of materials or machinery parts like carding elements. The distinguishing feature is the material construction and its direct application in mechanical textile processing or similar technical roles requiring durability and specific surface properties.

Subcategories within 5911.10 provide further specificity. For example, 5911.10.10.00 is dedicated to "Printers' rubberized blankets," a specific application of coated textile fabrics used in the printing industry. The residual category, 5911.10.20.00, covers "Other" fabrics that meet the general description of 5911.10 but are not specifically enumerated, thus ensuring comprehensive coverage of this technical textile classification.
