Polyester saree: the code and the rate

Most sarees woven and processed in Surat use polyester filament yarn, which puts them in heading 5407, "woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn". The Customs Tariff even names them: 5407 52 40 for dyed polyester sarees, 5407 54 30 for printed ones and 5407 41 14 for nylon sarees.

Trade names do not change the code. Georgette, chiffon, crepe, satin and moss are weaves or finishes; the yarn decides the heading. Only sarees woven from spun polyester (staple fibre) move to 5512–5515, and those are 5% as well.
