5407.53.20.20 - Flat fabrics (619) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5407.53.20.20, pertains to flat woven fabrics composed of synthetic filament yarns, specifically those obtained from materials of heading 5404. The defining characteristic of this category is that the fabric contains 85 percent or more by weight of textured polyester filaments. Furthermore, it is a subclassification within fabrics woven from yarns of different colors, indicating a pattern or coloration achieved through the use of distinct yarn colors during the weaving process.

This specific subcategory is distinguished by its weight. It covers fabrics weighing **not more than 170 g/m²**. This distinguishes it from its sibling category, 5407.53.20.40, which would encompass similar fabrics that weigh more than 170 g/m². The emphasis here is on lighter-weight woven fabrics meeting the other specified criteria.

As a leaf node within the HTS, 5407.53.20.20 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this code depends entirely on meeting all preceding criteria: being a woven fabric of synthetic filament yarn, containing at least 85% textured polyester filaments, woven from yarns of different colors, and weighing 170 g/m² or less. Examples would include lightweight textured polyester fabrics used for apparel linings, decorative textiles, or certain technical applications where a patterned, lightweight construction is required.
