6306.30.00.10 - Of synthetic fibers

This HTS category, 6306.30.00.10, specifically classifies sails for boats, sailboards, and landcraft that are manufactured from synthetic fibers. This includes a wide range of sail types, from those used on recreational sailboats and windsurfing boards to sails utilized on specialized land vehicles like land yachts. The defining characteristic for classification under this code is the primary material composition of the sail, which must be synthetic.

This sub-classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6306.30.00.20, which covers sails made from "other textile materials." This contrast necessitates a careful examination of the fabric composition of the sail. If the sail is predominantly constructed from synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon, or other man-made fibers, it falls under 6306.30.00.10. Conversely, sails made from natural fibers like cotton or other non-synthetic textiles would be classified under the sibling code.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code is final and depends solely on the material composition of the sail being synthetic. Importers and exporters should confirm the exact fiber content of their merchandise to ensure accurate classification and compliance with customs regulations.
