Heading 5513 — Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, of a weight not exceeding 170g/m2
Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibres
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 551349 when importing or exporting printed woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibres, predominantly mixed with cotton, and weighing less than 170 grams per square meter. For instance, a shipment of printed cotton-blend fabric used for apparel would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to fabrics that are not predominantly polyester and are created through a plain weave process. In contrast, HS-6 551351 covers similar fabrics but focuses on those with a plain weave and a higher polyester content.
When classifying fabrics, it’s essential to consider the weight and fiber composition. If your fabric contains 85% or more synthetic fibres, you would need to look at different HS codes, such as HS-6 551312 for polyester-rich fabrics.
Understanding the nuances of these codes helps ensure compliance with customs regulations and proper tariff classification. Always confirm the weight and fiber content to avoid misclassification.
