5513.13.00.90 - Other (220)

This HTS category, 5513.13.00.90, covers woven fabrics made primarily from polyester staple fibers, with polyester comprising less than 85% by weight of the total fiber content and being mixed mainly or solely with cotton. These fabrics must not exceed 170 grams per square meter in weight. Crucially, these are unbleached or bleached fabrics and do not fall into specific weave types like satin, twill, or oxford cloth.

The distinguishing feature of this classification lies in its residual nature. It encompasses woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers mixed with cotton that have already met the criteria of Chapter 55, Section XI, but do not fit into the more specific weave constructions designated by sibling HTS codes such as satin or twill weave (5513.13.00.20) or oxford cloth (5513.13.00.40). Therefore, if a fabric meets the general composition and weight requirements but its weave pattern is neither satin, twill, nor oxford, it will be classified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification under 5513.13.00.90 is determined by the exclusion of more specifically defined weave types. Importers and exporters should meticulously examine the fabric's construction and composition to ensure it is not inadvertently classified under a more specific weave category.
