6306.19.21.10 - Of artificial fibers (669) 🖩

This HTS category, 6306.19.21.10, specifically classifies tarpaulins, awnings, and sunblinds that are manufactured from artificial fibers and are not categorized under any more specific subheadings. These are typically large pieces of flexible material designed for protection from the elements, such as coverings for vehicles, machinery, or outdoor storage, as well as shades for windows or patios. The crucial defining characteristic here is the use of synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, or acrylic in their construction.

Within its sibling categories, this heading is distinguished by its material composition. While other subheadings at this level might cover similar types of textile articles made from different materials (e.g., natural fibers, or other specific textile constructions), 6306.19.21.10 is exclusively for those fabricated from artificial fibers. It is important to differentiate these from made-up textile articles of the same function but composed of different fiber types.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within this heading hinges on accurately identifying the article as a tarpaulin, awning, or sunblind and confirming that its primary construction material is artificial fibers, and no other more specific HTS code applies. Examples could include woven polyethylene tarps or coated polyester awnings.
