5514.30.33 - Other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers

This category encompasses woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers that do not contain 85% or more by weight of polyester staple fibers but are primarily blended with cotton. The fabrics must exceed 170 g/m² in weight and feature yarns of different colors. This specific classification applies to those fabrics woven with yarns of varying colors, distinguishing them from those made with yarns of a single color or where the color effect is achieved through printing or other means.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. HTS code 5514.30.31.00 specifically covers plain weave fabrics, while 5514.30.32 deals with 3-thread or 4-thread twill weaves. Category 5514.30.39 is a broader designation for "other woven fabrics" within this group that do not fall into the more specific weave structures mentioned. This node, 5514.30.33, is reserved for the remaining woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers, mixed with cotton, in mixed colors, that do not fit the plain or twill weave definitions.

Further refinement within this category is achieved through subcategories. 5514.30.33.10 distinguishes fabrics with a Jacquard weave, a more complex loom-controlled weaving technique that creates intricate patterns. The remaining fabrics, those not classified as Jacquard weave, fall under the "Other" subcategory (5514.30.33.90), ensuring comprehensive coverage for all fabrics meeting the parent criteria.
