6307.90.98.50 - Other respirators 🖩

This HTS category, 6307.90.98.50, specifically covers "other respirators." These are made-up textile articles designed to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne particles, viruses, or other contaminants, but do not fall into more specific respirator categories. The key defining characteristic here is the absence of replaceable filters, meaning the respirator's filtering material is integrated or the respirator is designed for single-use without a filter replacement mechanism.

This category is distinct from sibling categories such as "N95 respirators" (which have specific filtration standards and may be designed for filter replacement) and "other face masks" (which may offer less robust respiratory protection or serve different primary purposes like dust or droplet containment). The classification of "other respirators" hinges on their primary function of respiratory protection and the absence of a replaceable filter system.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under this specific HTS code. Therefore, classification within this code relies on a thorough examination of the product's design, intended use, and material composition to ensure it meets the definition of a respirator without replaceable filters and does not fit into more specific, higher-level HTS classifications.
