6310.10.20 - Other

This category, HTS Code 6310.10.20, encompasses "Other" made up textile articles falling under the broader heading of used or new rags, scrap twine, cordage, rope and cables, and worn out articles of textile materials. Specifically, it pertains to sorted textile materials that do not fit into the more narrowly defined categories within the same level. These goods are typically characterized by their residual textile composition and often originate from discarded or reprocessed textile products.

Unlike the sibling category 6310.10.10.00, which is exclusively for rags and similar materials made of wool or fine animal hair, this category is intended for a broader range of sorted textile waste and worn-out articles composed of other textile materials. The sorting process is a key criterion, implying that the materials have undergone some degree of separation and categorization based on their textile type or condition.

Within this "Other" classification, further subdivisions exist to provide more specific tariff treatment. The subcategories 6310.10.20.10, 6310.10.20.20, and 6310.10.20.30 distinguish these sorted textile materials based on their primary fiber content: cotton, man-made fibers, and "other" materials respectively. This detailed breakdown allows for more precise classification and application of relevant duties and regulations based on the material composition of the sorted rags and textile waste.
