Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibres
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 551423 when importing or exporting dyed woven fabrics made from polyester staple fibres mixed mainly with cotton, weighing over 170g/m2. For instance, a shipment of cotton-polyester blend fabric rolls, dyed in various colors for apparel manufacturing, falls under this code.
This code specifically addresses fabrics containing less than 85% polyester staple fibres, distinguishing it from HS-6 551421, which covers similar fabrics but with a higher polyester content. Understanding this difference is crucial for accurate classification.
When dealing with woven fabrics that are dyed and primarily composed of cotton, HS-6 551423 is the appropriate choice. It captures items that are not only heavier than 170g/m2 but also have a specific blend of synthetic and natural fibres.
If you are shipping dyed woven fabrics that contain more than 85% polyester, you should refer to HS-6 551421 instead. This distinction is important to ensure compliance with customs regulations and avoid potential delays.
