Plain weave construction and a dyed finish distinguish this heading from its unbleached counterpart, with Pakistan and India together accounting for the dominant share of US supply. These heavier-weight, dyed poly-cotton plain weave fabrics are widely used in shirting, bedding, and institutional textile applications where colorfastness and fabric stability are commercial priorities. The US schedule includes four 10-digit lines — 5514210000, 5514210020, 5514210030, and 5514210090 — with breakouts covering plain/back constructions, sheeting, and duck weave. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin goods, and importers should confirm fiber weight percentages through mill certifications to support classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A mill certificate or laboratory test report confirming that polyester staple fiber constitutes less than 85% by weight of the fabric is the standard supporting document. Customs may request this during examination, and discrepancies between declared and tested fiber content can result in reclassification to a different heading.
Under the HTS structure for Chapter 55, 'dyed' refers to piece-dyed fabrics. Yarn-dyed constructions — where individual yarns are dyed before weaving — are classified separately under the 'yarns of different colors' subheadings (e.g., 551430). Confirming the dyeing stage with the manufacturer is essential to avoid misclassification.
