HS-6 551329: Fabrics, woven; dyed, containing less than 85% by weight of synthetic staple fibres (other than polyesters), mixed mainly or solely with cotton, not exceeding 170g/m2

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 551329 when importing or exporting dyed woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, primarily mixed with cotton, and weighing less than 170 grams per square meter. For example, a shipment of lightweight cotton-blend fabric with a synthetic fiber content of 70% and a weight of 150 g/m2 would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers fabrics that are dyed and contain less than 85% synthetic staple fibers, distinguishing it from HS-6 551330, which includes similar fabrics but with a higher synthetic fiber content. If your fabric has 85% or more synthetic fibers, you should consider the latter classification.

The focus here is on fabrics that are not solely polyester-based, which sets them apart from other synthetic fabrics. For instance, a cotton fabric blended with nylon or acrylic fibers, dyed in vibrant colors, would be classified under this HS-6 line.

When dealing with mixed fabrics, ensure you accurately determine the fiber composition and weight to avoid misclassification. This is crucial for compliance with customs regulations and to prevent potential delays in your shipments.
