5514.30.32.15 - Other denim (218) 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 5514.30.32.15, specifically covers "Other denim" fabrics. These are woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic staple fibers, containing less than 85% by weight of these fibers, with the remainder being primarily cotton. The fabric must exceed 170 g/m² in weight and be constructed using yarns of different colors to create the characteristic woven pattern. The defining attribute of this specific subheading is that the fabric is a 3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill, primarily composed of polyester staple fibers, and is not blue denim.

The key distinction of this subheading from its sibling, 5514.30.32.10 (Blue denim), lies in the coloration of the fabric. While both are twill-weave denim made from polyester staple fibers mixed with cotton, this category encompasses denim that is not dyed blue, whereas the sibling specifically applies to blue denim. Therefore, any denim fabric meeting the material, weight, weave, and fiber composition criteria, but exhibiting colors other than blue, would fall under this classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the precise combination of fiber content (synthetic staple fibers and cotton), weave structure (3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill), weight exceeding 170 g/m², and the non-blue coloration of the yarns.
