Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 551313 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from polyester staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, weighing less than 170g/m2. For instance, a shipment of unbleached cotton-polyester blend fabric for apparel would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers fabrics that contain less than 85% polyester staple fibers, distinguishing it from HS-6 551312, which includes fabrics with a higher polyester content. If your fabric has a predominant synthetic fiber, ensure you check the exact percentage to classify correctly.
Woven fabrics classified under HS-6 551313 can be either unbleached or bleached. This means that if you're dealing with a bleached cotton-polyester fabric for home textiles, it still fits within this classification as long as it adheres to the weight limit.
When considering similar products, note that HS-6 551314 covers fabrics with different fiber compositions or weights. If your fabric contains more synthetic fibers or exceeds the weight limit, you'll need to explore those classifications.
