Last updated: April 2026 dataLightweight polyester-cotton blend woven fabrics in non-plain weave constructions — including satin and twill — fall here when polyester staple fiber constitutes less than 85% by weight and the fabric does not exceed 170 g/m². Pakistan leads US imports under this heading, with Malaysia and India also among the top suppliers. Importers should note that fabrics of this type sourced from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation and fiber-content certification critical at entry. The US schedule breaks this heading into plain/basket weave (5513130020) and other weave constructions not elsewhere specified (5513130090).
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The 85% threshold is measured by weight of polyester staple fiber relative to the total fabric weight. If polyester staple fiber accounts for 85% or more by weight, the fabric classifies elsewhere in Chapter 54/55. Only fabrics where polyester staple fiber is the predominant synthetic component but falls below that threshold — and cotton is the primary non-synthetic component — belong here.
Importers generally need a mill certificate or laboratory test report confirming the percentage by weight of each fiber component. CBP may request additional testing if the declared fiber content is disputed, so retaining supplier-issued fabric analysis records is advisable before filing entry.
