HTS heading 5906 is a 4-digit product category for rubberized textile fabrics that are not covered by heading 5902. In general, it groups textile fabrics coated, covered, or laminated with rubber, such as fabrics used for waterproofing, protective materials, industrial goods, or other finished products. The textile base and the way rubber is applied can matter. Heading 5902 is a separate category generally associated with certain tire-cord fabrics, so confirm that exclusion before using 5906.
To reach an 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the product belongs in heading 5906, then follow the subheadings and statistical provisions. These commonly distinguish products by features such as the textile material, fabric construction, rubber content or coating characteristics, and other stated product types. Review the legal text, section and chapter notes, and the product facts—not just a keyword match. A customs broker or classification specialist should review unusual constructions or borderline cases.
What to check
- Confirm the fabric is rubberized and identify whether the rubber is a coating, covering, or laminate.
- Check whether the product is excluded because it is a type of tire-cord fabric covered by heading 5902.
- Document the textile fiber, fabric construction, rubber composition, and physical form before selecting the 8-digit code.
- Read every applicable subheading description and tariff note, including any material or product-type distinctions.
- Compare the proposed code with official HTSUS text and seek broker advice when the construction or intended use creates uncertainty.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
