5515.19.00.45 - Oxford cloth (227) 🖩

This HTS category encompasses woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic staple fibers, specifically those not made of polyester staple fibers, and which are not further specified by weave type or fabric construction. This broad grouping captures a diverse range of textiles, excluding those that fall under more narrowly defined classifications within the "Other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers" chapter. Examples might include fabrics made from acrylic or nylon staple fibers, particularly those with distinct weaves or constructions that do not align with the more common categories.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, while siblings like "Poplin or broadcloth," "Sheeting," "Printcloth," "Cheesecloth; lawns, voiles or batistes," and "Duck" specify particular weave structures or common fabric types with established uses, this category serves as a residual classification. It applies to woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that do not fit these specific weave patterns or common fabric designations. Therefore, the classification hinges on the absence of these defining characteristics present in the sibling categories.

As a leaf node, 5515.19.00.45 does not have further subcategories. Classification within this code signifies that the fabric is made of synthetic staple fibers, is not of polyester staple fibers, and does not conform to the specific descriptions of the preceding sibling categories. The classification relies on the general understanding of woven fabric construction from synthetic staple fibers, when more precise identification is not applicable.
