Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the cover is made of synthetic fibres and designed specifically for boats
This heading covers sails for boats, but a cover that is not a sail would not qualify; however, if the cover is marketed as a boat cover rather than a tarpaulin, it may be considered under camping goods or other made-up articles.
If the cover is laminated or coated with plastic on both sides and the plastic imparts the essential character
Chapter 39 covers plastics and articles thereof, and a heavily plastic-coated textile may be classified there instead of Section XI.
