5513.39.01 - Other woven fabrics

This HTS category, 5513.39.01, encompasses "Other woven fabrics" within the broader scope of man-made staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with cotton. Specifically, it applies to fabrics that contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic staple fibers, are blended predominantly with cotton, and have a weight not exceeding 170 g/m². The defining characteristic here is the "other" designation, meaning these fabrics do not fall under more specific subheadings at this level, such as those explicitly for polyester staple fibers.

The distinction from sibling categories, such as 5513.31.00.00 (Of polyester staple fibers, plain weave), lies in the generality of the fiber content and weave structure. While this category also deals with synthetic staple fibers and cotton blends below 170 g/m², it doesn't specify the type of synthetic fiber (like polyester) or the weave (like plain weave) in the same manner as other subheadings. Therefore, any woven fabric meeting the general criteria of synthetic staple fiber and cotton blend under 170 g/m², but not otherwise specified at this level, would be considered here.

This HTS code further subdivides into more specific types of weaves and constructions to provide granular classification. The subcategories include fabrics woven in a Jacquard weave (5513.39.01.11), which allows for intricate patterns; Oxford cloth (5513.39.01.15), a specific basket weave construction known for its textured appearance; and "Other" woven fabrics (5513.39.01.91) that do not fit into the preceding specific weave types. These subdivisions allow for precise identification based on the fabric's manufacturing method and resulting visual and structural characteristics.
