5514.43.00.90 - Other (220)

This HTS category, 5514.43.00.90, encompasses woven fabrics predominantly composed of polyester staple fibers, but with a significant cotton component, not exceeding 85% polyester by weight. These fabrics are characterized by their weight, exceeding 170 grams per square meter, and by being printed. The "Other" designation indicates that these fabrics do not fall under specific weave constructions or constructions classified as "duck" fabrics mentioned in sibling categories.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 5514.43.00.20 specifically covers fabrics with a satin or twill weave. Similarly, 5514.43.00.40 pertains to duck fabrics, excluding those with a plain weave. Therefore, 5514.43.00.90 serves as a residual category for printed polyester staple fiber woven fabrics mixed with cotton (and not predominantly cotton) that are not classified under the more specific weave type or duck fabric designations. Examples might include fabrics with dobby weaves, jacquard weaves, or other patterned weaves that are not considered satin, twill, or duck.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific sub-heading relies on the absence of classification into the more narrowly defined sibling categories, based on the weave structure of the printed, mixed polyester staple fiber fabric exceeding 170 g/m². The key differentiator remains the weave type, distinguishing these "other" woven fabrics from satin, twill, or duck constructions.
