5407.52.20 - Other

This HTS classification, 5407.52.20, covers "Other" woven fabrics composed of at least 85% by weight of textured polyester filaments. These fabrics fall under the broader category of woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. The "Other" designation implies that these fabrics do not meet the specific width or thread count criteria outlined in sibling categories at the same level. Specifically, it excludes fabrics measuring less than 77 cm in width or between selvages that fall within a defined warp and filling thread count range.

The primary distinguishing factor for this subcategory is its weight per square meter. While sibling categories might focus on specific thread counts and widths, 5407.52.20 differentiates based on density. This ensures that fabrics with varying weights, and consequently different applications and characteristics, are properly accounted for within the tariff schedule.

Within this category, further subdivision is based on the fabric's weight. The subcategories provided indicate a distinction between fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m² and those weighing more than 170 g/m². This weight threshold is a critical physical characteristic that influences the fabric's drape, durability, and suitability for different end uses, such as apparel, home furnishings, or industrial applications.
