5515.19.00 - Other

This category, HTS 5515.19.00, covers woven fabrics manufactured from polyester staple fibers that are not primarily composed of viscose rayon staple fibers, man-made filaments, or wool/fine animal hair. These fabrics are characterized by their polyester staple fiber content and do not fall into the more specific classifications defined by their primary admixture or weave pattern as described in the sibling categories. The scope is broad, encompassing a variety of weaves and constructions as long as the defining characteristic is the polyester staple fiber.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS 5515.11.00 specifically covers polyester staple fiber woven fabrics mixed mainly or solely with viscose rayon staple fibers. Similarly, HTS 5515.12.00 is reserved for those mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. HTS 5515.13 addresses fabrics where polyester staple fibers are mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, 5515.19.00 serves as a residual category for polyester staple fiber woven fabrics that do not meet the specific admixture criteria of these other subheadings.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific visual and manufacturing characteristics. HTS 5515.19.00.05 pertains to fabrics woven from yarns of different colors, excluding those specifically identified as blue denim or those featuring a jacquard weave. HTS 5515.19.00.10 is designated for blue denim fabrics made from polyester staple fibers. The remaining "Other" subcategory encompasses all other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers that do not fit these more defined criteria, emphasizing the residual nature of this classification.
