5407.53.20.60 - Weighing more than 170 g/m² (620)

This HTS classification covers woven fabrics composed predominantly of synthetic filament yarn, specifically those containing 85 percent or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, and where the yarns are of different colors. These fabrics are characterized by weighing more than 170 grams per square meter. This weight specification is a crucial determinant for distinguishing these fabrics from their lighter counterparts within the same product family.

The defining characteristic of this category is the weight threshold, distinguishing it from sibling categories that classify similar woven polyester fabrics weighing 170 grams per square meter or less. While both fabrics are made from textured polyester filaments of different colors, their application and value can vary significantly based on this weight difference, impacting their suitability for heavier-duty applications or specialized textile products.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification within HTS 5407.53.20.60 relies on the precise adherence to the stipulated criteria: woven fabric of synthetic filament yarn, predominantly textured polyester filaments (85% or more by weight), yarns of different colors, and a weight exceeding 170 grams per square meter. Examples of such goods might include heavier-weight upholstery fabrics, durable outerwear textiles, or specialized industrial fabrics where weight is a key performance indicator.
