5514.49.00 - Other woven fabrics

This category, HTS code 5514.49.00, encompasses "Other woven fabrics" of synthetic staple fibers that meet specific composition and weight criteria. These fabrics contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic staple fibers, are mixed mainly or solely with cotton, and have a weight exceeding 170 grams per square meter. Crucially, the defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the fabrics are *printed*.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by its "printed" nature. For instance, sibling categories like 5514.41.00, 5514.42.00, and 5514.43.00 all pertain to woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers, but they are not specified as printed and cover different weave types or fabric constructions within the broader category of polyester staple fiber fabrics. HTS 5514.49.00 specifically isolates printed fabrics that meet the synthetic fiber/cotton blend and weight requirements.

Within this "Printed" classification, further subdivisions exist to detail specific constructions or patterns. The subcategories include Poplin or broadcloth (5514.49.00.10), Sheeting (5514.49.00.20), Duck (5514.49.00.30), and Satin weave or twill weave (5514.49.00.40). These finer distinctions allow for more precise classification based on the fabric's specific weave and visual appearance, with an "Other" category (5514.49.00.90) for printed fabrics that do not fall into the more specific subdivisions.
