5407.69.40 - Other

This HTS category, 5407.69.40, covers woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, specifically those containing 85 percent or more by weight of polyester filaments, where the yarns are of different colors. This classification applies to fabrics that do not meet the specific thread count criteria outlined in the sibling category, 5407.69.30.00, which specifies a thread count range for both warp and filling.

The primary distinguishing factor between this "Other" category and its sibling lies in the thread count. While 5407.69.30.00 is reserved for fabrics with a precise warp and filling thread count (over 69 but not over 142 in the warp and over 31 but not over 71 in the filling), this category encompasses all other woven polyester filament fabrics of different colored yarns that do not fall within that specific thread count range.

Further subdivision within this category is based on the fabric's weight per square meter. Subcategory 5407.69.40.10 covers fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m², while 5407.69.40.60 addresses fabrics weighing more than 170 g/m². This weight distinction is a critical factor for accurate classification and potential duty assessment.
