Chapter 54 covers man-made filament yarns, including synthetic filament yarns and artificial filament yarns, as well as yarns and woven fabrics made from these filaments. This chapter is divided into two main parts: Part One (5401-5406) covers man-made filament yarns, and Part Two (5407-5408) covers woven fabrics of man-made filament yarns. The goods in this chapter are important raw materials for the textile industry and are widely used in apparel, home textiles, and industrial textiles. Heading 5407 covers woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarns, including woven fabrics made from synthetic filament yarns such as polyester, nylon, and polypropylene. Under this heading, goods are further subdivided based on fiber type, yarn type (textured yarn, non-textured yarn), bleaching status, weight proportion, etc. 5407 is the main heading for woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarns, involving a large number of fabrics for apparel and decorative use. The first 2 digits, 54: indicates Chapter 54, man-made filament yarns. Digits 3-4, 07: indicates heading 5407, woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarns. Digits 5-6, 51: indicates subheading 540751, specifically woven fabrics of textured polyester yarn, unbleached or bleached, containing 85% or more by weight of polyester. Among these, the 5th digit, 5, indicates woven fabrics of textured polyester yarn, and the 6th digit, 1, indicates unbleached or bleached. This subheading only covers woven fabrics made from textured polyester yarn (i.e., processed polyester filaments), with a polyester content of 85% or more, and the bleaching status is limited to unbleached or bleached. This product is a woven fabric of textured polyester yarn, with a polyester content of 85% or more, and is unbleached or merely bleached, so it is classified under 540751. If the polyester content is less than 85%, it should be classified under 540752 (woven fabrics of non-textured polyester yarn) or 540753 (other woven fabrics of polyester); if it is another synthetic fiber such as nylon, it should be classified under 540741, etc.; if it is printed or yarn-dyed, it should be classified under 540754, etc.

📝 Declaration Elements
Product Name: The Chinese and foreign language names of the declared goods should accurately reflect the product attributes, such as "woven fabric of textured polyester yarn." Composition Content: Declare the polyester content and other components by weight percentage, and clearly state that polyester is 85% or more.

⚠️ Only writing "polyester fabric" without specifying textured yarn and weaving process.
Composition Content
Declare the polyester content and other components by weight percentage, and clearly state that polyester is 85% or more.
⚠️ Writing "100% polyester" but actually containing other fibers.
Yarn Type
Declare whether it is textured yarn, such as "textured polyester yarn."

🎯 Classification Logic
The classification basis mainly depends on fiber composition, yarn type, bleaching status, and weaving method. First confirm that it is a woven fabric of synthetic filament yarn, classified under Chapter 54; then determine heading 5407 based on fiber type (polyester) and yarn type (textured yarn); finally determine subheading 540751 based on polyester content (85% or more) and bleaching status (unbleached or bleached). If the polyester content is less than 85%, classify under other subheadings. 540752 Woven fabrics of non-textured polyester yarn: 540752 is woven fabrics of non-textured polyester yarn, while 540751 is textured yarn. The core difference lies in whether the yarn has undergone texturing. 540753 Other woven fabrics of polyester: 540753 covers woven fabrics with polyester content below 85%, or woven fabrics of polyester not specifically named. 540754 Printed woven fabrics of textured polyester yarn: 540754 is printed, yarn-dyed, etc., while 540751 is limited to unbleached or bleached. 540761 Other woven fabrics of non-textured polyester yarn: 540761 is woven fabrics of non-textured polyester yarn with polyester content of 85% or more, but the yarn type is different. Has it been confirmed that the yarn is textured yarn? Is the polyester content 85% or more? Is the bleaching status unbleached or bleached? Is it woven rather than knitted? Is it synthetic filament rather than staple fiber?
