Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, containing less than 85 percent by weight of such fibers, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, of a weight not exceeding 170 g/m²

48 declarable lines

Heading 5513 covers woven fabrics made of synthetic staple fibers that contain less than 85% by weight of those fibers and are mixed mainly or solely with cotton, with a fabric weight not over 170 g/m2. The heading is split first by finishing state: unbleached or bleached (5513.11 through 5513.19), dyed (5513.21 through 5513.29), of yarns of different colors (5513.31 and 5513.39), and printed (5513.41 through 5513.49). Within each group the break is by fiber type and weave, such as plain weave poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth, twill, satin, oxford cloth, jacquard, and residual other.

How to choose the right subheading

  • Fiber content: synthetic staple fibers must be under 85% by weight, and the balance must be mainly or solely cotton.
  • Weight: the fabric must weigh not more than 170 g/m2; heavier fabrics go to heading 5514.
  • Finishing state: unbleached or bleached, dyed, of yarns of different colors, or printed, which sets the 5513.1x, 5513.2x, 5513.3x or 5513.4x group.
  • Fiber type: whether the synthetic staple fiber is polyester or another synthetic, which changes the subheading.
  • Weave or construction: plain weave, twill, satin, oxford cloth, jacquard, or other, which sets the final statistical line.
