Overview

This HTS category, 5515.99.90.10, specifically classifies woven fabrics composed of synthetic staple fibers that are not otherwise specified. The defining characteristic of this classification is its composition of blue denim, indicated by the "(225)" qualifier. This refers to woven fabrics created from yarns of staple fibers, commonly cotton, but in this instance, synthetically produced. The blue coloration and denim weave are the primary factors for inclusion here.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5515.99.90.05, which covers other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers made from yarns of different colors, excluding blue denim and jacquard weaves. Therefore, while both fall under the broader "other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers" heading, this specific code is exclusively for blue denim constructions. Any woven fabric of synthetic staple fibers that is not blue denim or a jacquard weave would fall under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is precise, focusing on the material (synthetic staple fibers), construction (woven), and specific aesthetic and structural characteristics (blue denim). Importers and exporters should ensure that their goods precisely match the description of blue denim woven from synthetic staple fibers to correctly utilize this HTS code.
