5515.19.00.35 - Duck (219)

This HTS category, 5515.19.00.35, specifically covers "Duck" woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, with a particular emphasis on polyester staple fibers. "Duck" fabrics are characterized by their plain weave construction, known for their strength and durability, often with a balanced warp and weft count. They are typically used in applications requiring a robust textile, such as canvas, upholstery, and certain types of apparel.

Unlike sibling categories such as poplin, sheeting, printcloth, or specialized weaves like satin or twill, "Duck" fabrics are distinguished by their inherent strength and common use in heavier-duty applications. While other categories might focus on specific weaves, yarn densities, or perceived fineness of the fabric, this classification is reserved for the sturdy, plain-woven fabrics identified as "Duck."

As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods under 5515.19.00.35 relies entirely on meeting the descriptive criteria of a woven fabric of synthetic staple fibers, of polyester staple fibers, and specifically fitting the definition and common understanding of "Duck" fabric, differentiating it from other plain or specialized weaves within the broader group of "Other" woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers.
