About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, **5512.29.00.10 - Blue denim**, specifically classifies woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers where synthetic staple fibers constitute 85% or more of the weight. The defining characteristic here is the fabric's identity as blue denim. This classification applies regardless of the specific synthetic fiber content beyond the 85% threshold, as long as it meets the denim construction and color requirements.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, **5512.29.00.05**, which covers "Other" woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers containing 85% or more acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, specifically excluding blue denim and jacquard weaves, and also excluding yarns of different colors. Therefore, while both are subcategories of "Other" woven fabrics containing 85% or more acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, this specific node is exclusively for blue denim, whereas the sibling covers other fabric types within that broader group.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification for blue denim is the most specific level for this particular type of woven fabric. Classification under this code hinges on the material composition (85% or more synthetic staple fibers, with specific mention of acrylic or modacrylic in the parent), the weave structure indicative of denim, and the characteristic blue coloration.
