5514.41.00.30 - Not napped (613) 🖩

This HTS category, 5514.41.00.30, specifically covers woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic staple fibers. A key characteristic of these fabrics is that they contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic staple fibers, with cotton being the predominant mixing fiber. Furthermore, these fabrics are distinguished by their weight, exceeding 170 grams per square meter. The "Not napped" designation is critical, meaning the surface of the fabric has not undergone a process of raising the fibers to create a fuzzy nap.

This classification is differentiated from its sibling category, 5514.41.00.50, by the finishing process applied to the fabric. While both categories share the same material composition and weight requirements, 5514.41.00.50 specifically includes fabrics that have been napped. Therefore, the absence of this surface treatment is the defining factor for classification under 5514.41.00.30.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification is finalized at this level based on the specific combination of fiber content, weight, weave, printing, and finishing (specifically, the absence of napping). Practical classification relies on verifying these physical attributes of the textile article.
