6306.12.00.00 - Of synthetic fibers (669)

This HTS category, 6306.12.00.00, specifically classifies tarpaulins, awnings, and sunblinds that are constructed *of synthetic fibers*. These are typically protective coverings designed for a variety of purposes, such as shielding goods from the elements during transport or storage, providing shade over outdoor areas, or covering windows. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the primary textile material used in their manufacture.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6306.19, which covers similar items but made *of other textile materials*. This contrast means that if the tarpaulin, awning, or sunblind is predominantly made from natural fibers like cotton or linen, or from regenerated cellulosic fibers like rayon, it would fall under 6306.19, not this category. The classification hinges on the origin and type of the textile threads or fabrics forming the article.

As a leaf node, 6306.12.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code is on confirming the "synthetic fibers" composition. Examples of synthetic fibers commonly encountered in such products include polyester, nylon, polyethylene, and polypropylene. The construction and intended use (as a tarpaulin, awning, or sunblind) remain key in applying this specific HTS code.
