6002.90 - Other:

This HTS category, 6002.90, encompasses "Other" knitted or crocheted fabrics that meet the general criteria of heading 6002 but do not fall under the specific subheadings related to elastomeric yarn. Specifically, these fabrics are characterized by a width not exceeding 30 cm and contain by weight 5 percent or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread. This "Other" designation signifies that the fabric's primary classification is not determined by the presence of elastomeric yarn when no rubber thread is present, differentiating it from sibling categories that explicitly define such compositions.

Heading 6002 as a whole covers knitted or crocheted fabrics with a width not exceeding 30 cm, containing at least 5% by weight of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread. This particular subheading, 6002.90, serves as a catch-all for fabrics that satisfy these base requirements but are not further specified by the presence or absence of specific components like solely elastomeric yarn. It contrasts with the sibling category 6002.40, which is exclusively for fabrics containing 5% or more of elastomeric yarn but *not* containing rubber thread.

Within this "Other" category, further distinctions are made to refine the classification. Subcategory 6002.90.40.00 specifically addresses fabrics of cotton, indicating that if the fabric meets the general criteria of 6002.90 and is predominantly composed of cotton, it will be classified here. The remaining fabrics falling under 6002.90 that are not of cotton are then categorized under 6002.90.80, highlighting the importance of material composition in the final classification decision.
