5514.11.00.90 - Plain weave duck (219)

This classification covers woven fabrics manufactured primarily from synthetic staple fibers, but containing less than 85% by weight of these fibers, with cotton being the main or sole admixture. Crucially, these fabrics must exceed a weight of 170 grams per square meter. Within this group, this specific subheading focuses on those that are either unbleached or have been bleached.

The distinguishing feature of this subcategory is its weave structure. While other sibling categories might classify fabrics like poplin or broadcloth, or further subdivide into sheeting, this node is specifically designated for fabrics woven in a plain weave. A plain weave is characterized by its simple interlacing pattern, where each weft yarn passes over one and under two warp yarns, or vice versa, creating a balanced and sturdy fabric.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, encompassing a wide range of plain weave fabrics that meet the material composition, weight, and processing (unbleached or bleached) criteria. Examples could include certain types of durable canvas or upholstery fabrics, provided they meet all specified requirements.
