5512.99.00.05 - Of yarns of different colors, except blue denim or jacquard weave (218) 🖩

This HTS category, 5512.99.00.05, encompasses woven fabrics manufactured primarily from synthetic staple fibers, where these synthetic fibers constitute 85% or more of the total weight. Specifically, this classification applies to fabrics that are made from yarns of different colors, excluding those that are blue denim or feature a jacquard weave. The defining characteristic is the multicolored yarn composition, creating visual interest through the interweaving of contrasting colors, distinct from solid color fabrics or those with complex patterned structures achieved through specialized weaving techniques.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5512.99.00.10, which specifically covers blue denim. Therefore, if a woven fabric of synthetic staple fibers (85% or more by weight) is made from yarns of different colors but does not exhibit the characteristics of blue denim (e.g., indigo dyeing and twill weave), it will be classified under 5512.99.00.05. Similarly, if the fabric, despite being made of multi-colored yarns, is produced using a jacquard loom to create intricate designs, it would fall under a different classification not covered here.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions within this specific code. Classification under 5512.99.00.05 is final for fabrics meeting the criteria of 85% or more synthetic staple fibers, woven from multi-colored yarns, and not being blue denim or jacquard weave. Practical classification hinges on confirming the fiber content and visually identifying the use of yarns of different colors in the fabric's construction, while also ruling out the specific exclusions.
