Overview
This HTS category, 5514, specifically covers woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers. The key defining characteristics are that these fabrics contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic staple fibers and are primarily mixed with cotton. Additionally, the fabric must exceed a weight of 170 grams per square meter. This means the material is predominantly cotton, but with a significant synthetic fiber component, distinguishing it from fabrics that are primarily synthetic.
Within Section XI of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, Chapter 55 focuses on man-made staple fibers. Category 5514 sits within this chapter, detailing specific woven fabric constructions derived from these fibers when blended with cotton and meeting precise weight criteria. It differentiates itself from other Chapters that might cover pure cotton fabrics (Chapter 52) or fabrics made of entirely different synthetic materials without the specified cotton blend.
The subcategories within 5514 further refine the classification based on the fabric's finish and construction. These include distinctions for unbleached or bleached fabrics, dyed fabrics, and those made from yarns of different colors (5514.30), and printed fabrics. This breakdown allows for precise identification based on the visual and processing characteristics of the woven material, ensuring accurate tariff application according to customs regulations.
