5407.53.20 - Other

This HTS category, 5407.53.20, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, specifically those composed of 85 percent or more by weight of textured polyester filaments and featuring yarns of different colors. This classification focuses on woven fabrics that do not meet the specific thread count criteria defined by its sibling category, 5407.53.10.00. The differentiating factor lies in the thread density; if the warp has a thread count exceeding 69 but not exceeding 142 per cm, and the filling has a thread count exceeding 31 but not exceeding 71 per cm, it would fall under the sibling classification.

The "Other" designation here indicates a residual category for multi-colored woven fabrics of textured polyester filaments that do not fit the more precisely defined thread count parameters. The focus remains on the material composition (85%+ textured polyester filaments) and the visual characteristic of using yarns of different colors within the woven structure.

This category is further subdivided based on the weight of the fabric per square meter. The subcategories distinguish between fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m² and those weighing more than 170 g/m². This distinction is crucial for tariff purposes, as different weight classifications can have varying duty rates, reflecting differences in the amount of material used and potentially the intended application of the fabric.
