5513.49.90.60 - Oxford cloth (227)

This HTS category, 5513.49.90.60, specifically classifies printed woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that contain less than 85 percent by weight of such fibers, primarily mixed with cotton, and do not exceed 170 g/m² in weight. The "Oxford cloth" designation indicates a particular type of weave characterized by its basketweave structure, where two or more warp threads are twisted around one or more weft threads. This weave creates a distinctive, slightly textured surface.

This classification is distinct from its siblings by the specific weave pattern. While other siblings like poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth, and those with satin or twill weaves are also printed woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers mixed with cotton, they possess different weave structures. The "Oxford cloth" classification relies on the identification of this specific basketweave characteristic.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under this code. The classification is finalized at this level based on the material composition, weight, printing, and the specific Oxford weave. Importers and exporters must ensure that their goods meet all these criteria to be correctly classified under 5513.49.90.60.
