Last updated: July 2026 dataHeavier-weight plain-weave polyester-cotton fabrics — exceeding 170 g/m² and containing polyester staple fiber at under 85% by weight, in unbleached or bleached condition — serve as primary inputs for workwear, uniform, and industrial textile applications. India leads US imports under this heading, with Pakistan and Mexico also among the top suppliers. The US schedule distinguishes among piece/bolt form (5514110020), sheeting without nap (5514110030), napped sheeting (5514110050), and duck constructions (5514110090), reflecting the range of end-use applications for this heavier fabric category. The weight threshold of 170 g/m² is the key dividing line separating this heading from its lighter-weight counterparts in heading 5513.

The 170 g/m² threshold is the single structural dividing line between the two headings for polyester-cotton woven fabrics: fabrics at or below 170 g/m² fall under heading 5513, while those exceeding 170 g/m² classify under heading 5514. Weight is measured per square meter of the fabric as imported, and CBP may test fabric weight if the declared value is close to the threshold. Accurate weight documentation from the mill is essential to avoid misclassification.
Napping is a finishing process that raises fiber ends on the fabric surface to create a soft, brushed texture. The US tariff schedule under 5514110050 specifically covers napped sheeting, while 5514110030 covers sheeting without nap. This distinction matters because napped fabrics have different end-use applications (e.g., flannel-type workwear) and the finishing process must be documented by the mill to support the correct 10-digit line selection.
