5512.29.00.35 - Duck (219)

This HTS category, 5512.29.00.35, specifically classifies woven fabrics composed of 85 percent or more by weight of synthetic staple fibers, where these fibers are predominantly acrylic or modacrylic. The "Duck (219)" designation within this subcategory points to a specific type of fabric construction characterized by a plain weave with a firm, heavy texture, often used for durable goods such as upholstery, workwear, or bags. It is distinguished from other entries within the "Other" subheadings by its particular weave and the common end-uses associated with duck fabrics.

This classification is part of a broader group of woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers. Within the "Containing 85 percent or more by weight of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers" section, the "Other" designation indicates fabrics that do not fall under more specific weave descriptions like poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, or satin/twill weaves. Therefore, 5512.29.00.35 represents a residual category for acrylic/modacrylic woven fabrics meeting the 85% synthetic staple fiber threshold, but which are not specifically defined by other, more granular weave types listed as siblings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 5512.29.00.35. Classification at this level relies on accurately identifying the fabric's fiber content (85% or more synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic) and its weave construction, distinguishing it from the more precisely defined weave types also found at this level. The "Duck" designation serves as a key identifier for the specific fabric weave and its typical characteristics falling within this residual "Other" category.
