5407.61.99 - Other

This HTS classification, 5407.61.99, encompasses a broad range of woven fabrics primarily composed of synthetic filament yarn, specifically those containing 85 percent or more by weight of polyester filaments that are non-textured. This category acts as a residual classification for polyester filament woven fabrics that do not meet the specific criteria of other, more narrowly defined subheadings within 5407.61. It generally includes fabrics constructed from polyester filaments where the yarn is not textured, and the weave structure or yarn characteristics do not align with the specific requirements for other categories.

The distinction from its sibling category, 5407.61.91, lies in the precise yarn specifications. While this category is for "Other," 5407.61.91 specifically covers fabrics made wholly of polyester from single yarns measuring between 75 and 80 decitex, containing exactly 24 filaments per yarn, and exhibiting a twist of 900 or more turns per meter. Fabrics that do not precisely match these stringent yarn and twist requirements, but otherwise meet the general criteria of being woven from non-textured polyester filaments and containing 85% or more polyester by weight, will fall under this classification.

The subcategories under 5407.61.99 further refine the classification based on the fabric's state of processing or yarn composition. These include distinctions for unbleached or bleached fabrics, dyed fabrics, fabrics woven from yarns of different colors, and printed fabrics. This granular breakdown allows for precise identification of the specific presentation and treatment of the woven polyester filament fabric, impacting customs duties and statistical reporting.
