5513.29.00.60 - Oxford cloth (227) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5513.29.00.60, specifically covers Oxford cloth made from synthetic staple fibers. To fall under this code, the fabric must contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic staple fibers, with the remainder being primarily cotton. Additionally, the fabric must not exceed 170 grams per square meter in weight and must be dyed. The "Oxford cloth" designation implies a specific basket-weave construction that gives the fabric a characteristic textured appearance.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its specific fabric type. For instance, while 5513.29.00.10 covers poplin or broadcloth and 5513.29.00.20 encompasses sheeting, this code is reserved for the unique basket-weave known as Oxford cloth. Unlike 5513.29.00.50, which specifies satin or twill weaves, this classification focuses on the distinct structure of Oxford cloth, irrespective of whether it falls into those weave types.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of Oxford cloth under 5513.29.00.60 is definitive once the criteria of fiber content, weight, dyeing, and specific Oxford weave are met. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the construction and composition of their Oxford cloth to ensure accurate classification.
