Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 540782 when importing or exporting dyed woven fabrics made from synthetic filament yarn that contain less than 85% synthetic fibers, primarily mixed with cotton. For example, a shipment of cotton-blend fabric used in clothing would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers fabrics that are woven and dyed, distinguishing them from similar fabrics that may not be dyed or that contain a higher percentage of synthetic filaments. For instance, HS-6 540781 includes woven fabrics with a higher synthetic content.
When classifying your product, consider that 540782 applies to fabrics that are predominantly cotton but still utilize synthetic yarns. This is different from HS-6 540783, which pertains to fabrics mixed with other fibers like wool or silk.
If you're dealing with a fabric that is a blend of synthetic filament yarn and cotton, ensure it meets the weight criteria to qualify under this HS-6. The dyeing process is also a key factor in this classification.
