About HS Code 551419
This category encompasses heavier woven fabrics, exceeding 170g/m2, that are unbleached or bleached, and contain less than 85% by weight of synthetic staple fibers (other than polyester, and not specifically plain weave or twill as covered in 551411/551412), mixed mainly or solely with cotton. This 'not elsewhere specified' clause allows for a broader range of weaves and synthetic blends, such as rayon, modal, or lyocell, providing alternatives for specific performance or aesthetic requirements in heavier applications. These fabrics are used as base materials for durable apparel, specialized home textiles, or industrial applications where unique properties are desired. Importers include specialized garment manufacturers and textile converters seeking distinct base materials. Exporters are textile mills with capabilities in handling various synthetic blends and weaving complex structures. Trade considerations include the specific synthetic fiber's properties, weave complexity, and suitability for further processing.
