5514.23.00 - Other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers

HTS code 5514.23.00 classifies other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers, falling under the broader category of woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers containing less than 85 percent by weight of such fibers, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, and exceeding 170 g/m² in weight, which have been dyed. This specific subheading encompasses those dyed fabrics that do not fit into the more precisely defined weave structures of its sibling categories.

Distinguishing 5514.23.00 from its siblings, 5514.21.00 covers plain weave fabrics, 5514.22.00 specifically addresses 3-thread or 4-thread twill weaves (including cross twill), and 5514.29.00 is reserved for other woven fabrics within this group. Therefore, 5514.23.00 is the residual classification for dyed woven polyester staple fiber fabrics meeting the general criteria but exhibiting weaves other than plain or specific twill types.

To further refine classification, the subcategories under 5514.23.00 provide more granular distinctions based on weave type. The subcategories for "Satin weave or twill weave (617)" and "Duck, except plain weave (219)" account for specific, more complex weaves or constructions that do not fall under the simpler twills or plain weaves designated in sibling categories. The residual "Other (220)" category captures any remaining dyed woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers that meet the general weight and composition requirements but do not conform to the definitions of satin, twill, or duck weaves, nor the plain or specific twill weaves of their direct siblings.
