Overview

This HTS classification, 5513.49.10.00, specifically covers printed woven fabrics crafted from polyester staple fibers. These fabrics are characterized by a 3-thread or 4-thread twill weave, which includes cross twill constructions. The primary fibers used are polyester staple fibers, and these fabrics generally contain less than 85 percent by weight of such fibers, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, not exceeding 170 g/m² in weight. The "printed" designation is a key identifier, indicating that a pattern or design has been applied to the fabric surface.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5513.49.20, which encompasses "Other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers." While both categories deal with polyester staple fiber fabrics, 5513.49.10.00 is exclusively for *printed* twill fabrics, whereas 5513.49.20 would include other types of woven polyester staple fabrics that are not printed or are not twill weaves. The other sibling, 5513.49.90, is a residual category for any remaining "Other" woven fabrics that do not fit into the more specific classifications.

As 5513.49.10.00 is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this node is on confirming the fabric's composition (polyester staple fibers, with a specified cotton blend limit and weight), weave (3 or 4-thread twill, including cross twill), and the presence of printing. This precise combination of characteristics ensures accurate customs declarations for these specific textile goods.
