HS Code for Polyamide woven fabric (colored)

HS code 5407.43 is designated for woven fabrics containing 85% or more by weight of filaments of nylon or other polyamides, specifically those made from yarns of different colors. This classification is distinct from piece-dyed fabrics. \"Yarns of different colors\" refers to fabrics woven from yarns that were dyed prior to the weaving process, or fabrics made from yarns of different shades of the same color. This distinction is critical for customs valuation and trade statistics. The high concentration of polyamide filaments (85%+) ensures the product remains within the 5407.4x series, while the \"yarns of different colors\" specification narrows it down to the .43 suffix. This category includes fabrics like chambrays, ginghams, or jacquards where the pattern is created by the colored yarns rather than being printed on the surface. The technical definition requires that the yarns be of different colors, which includes bleached and unbleached yarns used together. This code is frequently used for high-performance outdoor gear, technical apparel, and decorative textiles where colorfastness and structural patterns are required. Understanding the difference between yarn-dyed and piece-dyed is vital for correct classification, as piece-dyed fabrics (dyed after weaving) fall under 5407.42. The classification is governed by GRI 1 and 6, and Subheading Note 1 to Section XI, which defines the term \"fabrics of yarns of different colours.\" This note clarifies that the yarns must be of different colors or shades, or consist of unbleached or bleached yarn in combination with colored yarn, providing a clear framework for customs authorities.

Common Misclassification

The most common error is misclassifying these as 5407.42 (dyed). 5407.42 is for piece-dyed fabrics where the entire cloth is dyed one color after weaving. 5407.43 is specifically for fabrics where the individual yarns were different colors before being woven together. It is also sometimes confused with 5407.44, which is for printed fabrics where the color is applied to the surface of the finished cloth.
