Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic staple fibres
In plain English
This category covers woven fabrics made primarily from synthetic staple fibers, with at least eighty-five percent of the weight coming from these materials. The items are sorted by the specific type of fiber used, such as polyester, acrylic, modacrylic, or other synthetic fibers not listed elsewhere in this section. Within each fiber type, the goods are further divided based on whether they are unbleached or bleached, or if they fall into other processing categories.
