6004.90.20.85 - Other (222)

This HTS classification, 6004.90.20.85, pertains to knitted or crocheted fabrics that are not specifically classified under other subheadings within heading 6004. These fabrics must contain 5 percent or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread by weight and have a width exceeding 30 cm. Crucially, this category applies to fabrics that contain both elastomeric yarn and rubber thread, differentiating it from other classifications within the same heading.

The key distinguishing factor for this category lies in the dual presence of both elastomeric yarn (like spandex or elastane) and rubber thread within the fabric's composition. This differs from fabrics that might contain only one of these components, which would fall under different subheadings. The "Other" designation at this level signifies that these fabrics do not fit into more specific knitted or crocheted fabric categories within heading 6004 that might be defined by weave type or dominant fiber content.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this specific HTS code requires careful verification that the fabric meets the stated criteria of containing both elastomeric yarn and rubber thread, exceeding 30 cm in width, and not being classifiable elsewhere within heading 6004 or other chapters. Examples might include certain types of swimwear fabric, activewear materials, or medical textiles where both stretch and elasticity provided by different materials are essential to the fabric's performance characteristics.
