Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing <85% cotton mixed mainly with polyester (reversed primary fiber)
Chapter 52 covers cotton as primary fiber (>85% cotton or mixed mainly with man-made); synthetic primary shifts to Chapter 55.
If weight exceeds 170 g/m²
Heavier fabrics (>170 g/m²) fall under 5514, even with same weave and fiber mix.
If plain weave instead of satin/twill
Plain weaves use 5513.21; only satin or twill qualifies for 5513.23 per statistical note.
