6210.10.50.90 - Other 🖩

This classification covers nonwoven disposable apparel specifically designed for environments such as hospitals, clinics, laboratories, or areas where contamination is a concern. These garments are constructed from fabrics classified under HTS headings 5602 (felt, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated) or 5603 (nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated). The primary function of these articles is to provide a barrier against the spread of contaminants or to protect the wearer from potentially hazardous substances.

Within the broader category of "Other" nonwoven disposable apparel, this specific subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 6210.10.50.10, which exclusively covers surgical or isolation gowns. While surgical and isolation gowns are a specific type of protective apparel, this "Other" category encompasses a wider range of nonwoven disposable garments that serve similar protective purposes but do not meet the specific design or regulatory criteria for a surgical or isolation gown. Examples might include disposable protective coveralls for laboratory technicians, shoe covers for cleanroom environments, or disposable head coverings intended for sterile settings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification relies on the general characteristics and intended use of the nonwoven disposable apparel. Key distinguishing factors for classification into this "Other" category would include its construction from the specified nonwoven fabrics and its demonstrably intended application in a sterile, clinical, laboratory, or contaminated area where disposable protection is paramount, but it does not fit the more specific definition of a surgical or isolation gown.
