6310.90 - Other:

This HTS category, 6310.90, encompasses "Other" made-up textile articles that fall under the broad heading of used or new rags, scrap twine, cordage, rope, and cables, as well as worn-out articles made from these textile materials. Unlike its sibling category 6310.10, which specifically deals with sorted rags, this classification is for materials that are not sorted or are not rags in the traditional sense but are otherwise covered by the parent description. This can include various forms of discarded or scrap textile materials that do not fit into more specific sorting criteria.

The scope of 6310.90 is broad and includes a wide range of textile waste and scrap that has reached the end of its primary use. This could encompass remnants from manufacturing processes, unraveled materials, or degraded lengths of rope and cable that are no longer fit for their original purpose. The key differentiator from sorted rags is the absence of any specific sorting or grading based on quality, color, or material type.

Within this category, two subcategories provide further refinement. 6310.90.10.00 specifically addresses items made of wool or fine animal hair, allowing for a more granular classification of these particular textile types. The other subcategory, 6310.90.20.00, serves as a residual classification for all other such textile materials that do not meet the criteria for wool or fine animal hair, ensuring that all remaining items within the parent description are accounted for.
