HS Code for Bleached textured polyester fabric

Bleached textured polyester fabric is classified under HS code 5407.51. This classification is found in Chapter 54, which covers man-made filaments. Heading 5407 applies to woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. Subheading 5407.51 is specifically designated for fabrics containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments that are unbleached or bleached. 'Textured' refers to filament yarns that have been mechanically or thermally processed to introduce crimps, coils, or loops, giving the yarn greater volume, elasticity, and a more natural, cotton-like feel compared to flat filaments. The 'bleached' status indicates the fabric has been treated to achieve a uniform white appearance. To be classified here, the fabric must be woven and the polyester content must meet the 85% threshold. This material is commonly used in apparel, upholstery, and home textiles due to its durability and aesthetic versatility.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is 5407.61, which is for woven fabrics containing 85% or more of non-textured polyester filaments. Another error is using 5512, which applies to polyester staple fibers rather than filaments. If the fabric is dyed, it moves to 5407.52. Additionally, if the fabric contains less than 85% polyester and is mixed with cotton, it may fall under 5407.81.
