Overview
This classification covers woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that contain less than 85 percent by weight of such fibers, are mixed primarily or solely with cotton, and exceed a weight of 170 grams per square meter. Crucially, these fabrics are characterized by yarns of different colors, creating distinct visual patterns.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5514.30.31.00, 5514.30.32, and 5514.30.33, lies in the explicit requirement of "yarns of different colors." While the sibling categories may also be woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers mixed with cotton and exceeding the specified weight, they do not mandate the use of yarns of varying colors in their construction. For instance, 5514.30.31.00 specifically refers to plain weave constructions of polyester staple fibers, which may or may not involve different colored yarns, and 5514.30.32 deals with twill weaves.
Within this "other woven fabrics" category, further distinctions are made to capture specific types of fabrics. The subcategories 5514.30.39.10 for blue denim, 5514.30.39.20 for jacquard weave, and 5514.30.39.90 for other variations allow for more granular classification based on weave structure and specific fabric types, provided they meet the overarching criteria of synthetic staple fiber content, cotton admixture, weight, and the presence of different colored yarns.
