5515.99.90.05 - Of yarns of different colors, except blue denim or jacquard weave (218)

This HTS category, 5515.99.90.05, encompasses "Other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, of yarns of different colors, except blue denim or jacquard weave." This classification is specifically for woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic staple fibers where the yarns used in the fabric construction are of varying colors. Crucially, this category excludes fabrics that are blue denim or feature a jacquard weave. The "other" designation within this sub-heading indicates that it captures a broad range of colored woven synthetic staple fiber fabrics not specifically provided for elsewhere within the 5515 heading.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its exclusion of blue denim and jacquard weave fabrics, which are found in sibling categories. While blue denim is a specific type of woven fabric characterized by its twill weave and indigo dyeing, jacquard weave refers to a complex weaving technique that creates intricate patterns. Fabrics classified under 5515.99.90.05 will therefore be of different colors, but without the specific characteristics of denim or the intricate patterns generated by a jacquard loom, and not falling under any more specific sub-classifications of other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification here is on the precise material composition (synthetic staple fibers), the weave type (woven), the yarn characteristic (of different colors), and the explicit exclusions (blue denim and jacquard weave). Importers and exporters should carefully examine the visual appearance and manufacturing process of their fabrics to ensure they meet these criteria and are not inadvertently classified under a more specific or an exclusionary category.
