5514.30.39.10 - Blue denim (225)

This HTS category, 5514.30.39.10, specifically classifies blue denim fabrics that are woven from synthetic staple fibers. A key defining characteristic is that these fabrics contain less than 85% by weight of synthetic staple fibers, with cotton being the primary other fiber component. Furthermore, the fabric must weigh more than 170 grams per square meter. The "blue denim" designation implies a particular weave structure and characteristic coloration, typically achieved through indigo dyeing processes.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its specific mention of "blue denim." The sibling category 5514.30.39.20 covers other woven fabrics within this group that are specifically identified as having a Jacquard weave. The sibling category 5514.30.39.90 encompasses all other woven fabrics that do not fall into the "blue denim" or "Jacquard weave" classifications but still meet the broader criteria of containing less than 85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with cotton, exceeding 170 g/m², and being of yarns of different colors.

As a leaf node, 5514.30.39.10 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this specific code is on confirming the presence of blue denim characteristics, the synthetic staple fiber content (less than 85%), the dominance of cotton in the mix, and the weight exceeding 170 g/m². Examples of goods falling here would include bolts of fabric intended for apparel manufacturing, specifically for items like jeans, jackets, and other garments traditionally made from blue denim.
