5515.11.00.35 - Duck (219)

This HTS classification, 5515.11.00.35, specifically covers "Duck" woven fabrics manufactured from polyester staple fibers that are mixed mainly or solely with viscose rayon staple fibers. The "Duck" designation typically refers to a plain weave fabric characterized by its firm weave and often a high thread count, resulting in a durable and strong material. These fabrics are distinct from other categories at this level which are defined by specific weave structures such as poplin, sheeting, printcloth, satin, or twill weaves, or by fabric types like cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, or batistes. The defining characteristic here is the textile structure and intended end-use implied by the term "Duck," rather than a specific weave pattern or historical fabric name.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions or subcategories. Classification under 5515.11.00.35 is definitive for woven fabrics meeting the material composition (polyester staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with viscose rayon staple fibers) and the specific fabric type of "Duck." Therefore, any woven fabric made from the specified staple fibers that is identified as "Duck" by trade standards or descriptions will fall under this code. The preceding levels of classification ensure that these fabrics are distinguished from those made from other synthetic staple fibers or those blended with different types of fibers.
