About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 5514.21.00.50, specifically classifies woven fabrics that are napped. These fabrics are composed of synthetic staple fibers, predominantly polyester, and constitute less than 85% of the total weight. The remaining weight is primarily cotton. Furthermore, these textiles exceed 170 grams per square meter in weight and are dyed. The weave construction is identified as plain weave, and the fabric is finished as sheeting.

The defining characteristic differentiating this classification from its sibling, 5514.21.00.30, is the "napped" finish. While both fabrics share the same material composition (synthetic staple fibers mixed with cotton), weight, dyeing, weave, and sheeting application, this category exclusively covers those that have undergone a napping process. Napping involves raising the surface fibers of the fabric to create a soft, fuzzy texture, which is distinct from the smoother finish of non-napped fabrics.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes rests on the precise fulfillment of all stipulated criteria: a dyed, plain weave, sheeting fabric of synthetic staple fibers (primarily polyester) mixed with cotton, weighing over 170 g/m², and featuring a napped finish.
