If yarns are all one color but fabric is printed or piece-dyed

If made from synthetic filament yarns instead of staple fibers
Filament-based woven fabrics are classified in Chapter 54, not Chapter 55 which is specific to staple fibers.
If containing 85% or more by weight of polyester staple fibers
High-polyester content moves it to the polyester-specific heading 5515, separate from 'other' artificial staple fibers.
