6306.29 - Of other textile materials:
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 6306.29, encompasses tents and similar temporary canopy structures constructed from textile materials other than synthetic fibers. It includes a wide range of portable shelters designed for various uses, such as camping, exhibitions, or temporary event coverage. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the material composition; if the tent is not primarily made of synthetic fibers, it falls under this heading.
Distinction from its sibling, 6306.22, is crucial. While 6306.22 specifically covers tents made from synthetic fibers (like polyester, nylon, or polyethylene), 6306.29 is reserved for tents made from other textile materials. This differentiation typically points towards natural fibers such as cotton or blends where natural fibers predominate, or other man-made fibers not classified as synthetic.
Further classification within 6306.29 is facilitated by its subcategories. 6306.29.11.00 specifically addresses tents made of cotton, allowing for precise tracking of goods based on this common natural fiber. The subcategory 6306.29.21.00, "Other," serves as a catch-all for tents made from any textile materials that are not synthetic fibers and not specifically designated as cotton within this heading.
