5513.39.01.15 - Oxford cloth (218)

This HTS category, 5513.39.01.15, specifically classifies Oxford cloth that is woven from synthetic staple fibers. Key characteristics for inclusion in this category are that the fabric must contain less than 85% synthetic staple fibers by weight, be mixed mainly or solely with cotton, and have a weight not exceeding 170 g/m². The distinguishing feature of this subcategory is its weave structure, which is neither a jacquard weave nor classified under the "other" general category for woven fabrics of differing colors within this same grouping.

Unlike its sibling category 5513.39.01.11, which is designated for Oxford cloth featuring a jacquard weave, this classification is for Oxford cloth where the weave pattern is not a jacquard. Furthermore, it differs from the catch-all sibling category 5513.39.01.91 by specifically identifying the fabric type as Oxford cloth, implying a particular interlacing pattern characteristic of Oxford weaves, such as a basket weave, rather than a more general classification.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this classification. Therefore, classification decisions at this level rely solely on confirming that the goods meet all the preceding criteria of the parent categories and specifically align with the description of Oxford cloth, while not fitting into the other specified sibling categories. The physical characteristics of the weave, material composition, and weight are paramount for accurate classification.
