5513.49.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 5513.49.90, pertains to "Other" woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers. These fabrics are characterized by containing less than 85% synthetic staple fibers by weight, with the remainder being mixed mainly or solely with cotton. Crucially, they are printed and do not exceed a weight of 170 g/m². This designation serves as a residual category for printed woven fabrics of this composition and weight that do not fit into more specific sibling classifications based on weave type or fiber origin.

The distinction from sibling categories is vital for accurate classification. For instance, 5513.49.10.00 specifically covers 3-thread or 4-thread twill weaves, including cross twill, when made from polyester staple fibers. Similarly, 5513.49.20 addresses other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers that may be printed but do not fall under the "Other" designation here. This node, 5513.49.90, captures printed woven fabrics that are not solely polyester staple fibers or that possess weave structures not explicitly defined in the preceding sibling categories.

Within this "Other" category, further sub-classifications exist to provide greater specificity for different types of printed woven fabrics. These subcategories, such as Poplin or broadcloth (5513.49.90.10), Sheeting (5513.49.90.20), Printcloth (5513.49.90.30), Cheesecloth; lawns, voiles or batistes (5513.49.90.40), Satin weave or twill weave (5513.49.90.50), and Oxford cloth (5513.49.90.60), are defined by their particular weave patterns and resulting fabric characteristics. The residual subcategory, 5513.49.90.90, captures any remaining printed woven fabrics within this general classification that do not conform to these more specific weave-based subdivisions.
