Complete Tariff Product Description
What is classified under HS Code 5512.19.00?
HS Code 5512.19.00 covers woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, containing 85% or more by weight of polyester staple fibers, other than unbleached/bleached (Dyed 100% Spun Poly Woven). In commercial practice these goods are traded as Woven Synthetic Fabric made of 100% Spun Polyester, and buyers, factories and customs brokers most often refer to them as spun polyester fabric, poly uniform fabric, spun poly twill.
The code is read level by level: Section XI (Textiles and Textile Articles) narrows to Chapter 55 (Man-Made Staple Fibers), then Heading 5512 (Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, containing >=85% synthetic staple fibers) and Subheading 5512.19 (Other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers), ending at the 8-digit tariff line 5512.19.00. The first six digits follow the WCO international standard and stay the same in every country; the final two digits are the national subdivision used for duty assessment and trade statistics.
- Classification is decided by the heading text and the material and construction it names — here, 100% Spun Polyester and Woven Synthetic Fabric.
- If a shipment mixes this product with other textile articles, each item is classified under its own heading; goods put up in sets follow the essential-character rule (GIR 3).
- When the same product exists in several materials, the material named in this code (100% Spun Polyester) is the one that must appear on the invoice and packing list.
How to declare HS Code 5512.19.00
- Commercial invoice: print 5512.19.00 next to the item description (Woven Synthetic Fabric) with the material composition (100% Spun Polyester) matching the code text exactly.
- Packing list: keep quantities, net and gross weights and carton counts consistent with the invoice line for this code.
- Certificate of Origin & Bill of Lading: repeat the same code so bank document checkers under an L/C and customs officers see one consistent classification across all documents.
- Before shipment: verify the code against the destination country's current tariff schedule — duty rates, restrictions and required certificates are set nationally, not by the HS code itself.
