Overview

This HTS classification, specifically HTS Code 5515.11.00.10, pertains to blue denim woven fabrics composed of synthetic staple fibers. The defining characteristic of this category is the material composition: a blend predominantly or solely of polyester staple fibers with viscose rayon staple fibers, resulting in a fabric specifically identified as blue denim. The "(225)" in the description likely refers to a specific statistical suffix or internal reference within the customs system, further narrowing the scope of this particular entry.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5515.11.00.05, is crucial for accurate classification. While both fall under "Other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers" and "Of polyester staple fibers," 5515.11.00.05 specifically excludes blue denim. Therefore, this classification is solely for fabrics exhibiting the distinct blue denim weave and coloration, whereas the sibling category covers other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers, including those mixed with viscose rayon staple fibers, but not specifically blue denim, and also excludes jacquard weaves or those made from yarns of different colors.

As this HTS classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies on confirming the material composition (primarily polyester staple fibers with viscose rayon staple fibers), the weave type, and the specific characteristic of being "blue denim." This granular level of detail ensures that customs authorities can precisely identify and duty goods entering or exiting the country, facilitating trade and compliance.
