CN code 540769 covers other woven fabrics of polyester yarn containing less than 85 percent by weight of polyester fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, other than specifically categorised as unbleached, bleached, dyed, yarn-dyed, or printed. This subheading includes fabrics with combined finishes such as simultaneously dyed and printed fabrics, and fabrics with special finishes not falling within other codes. Polyester-cotton fabrics under this code have wide application in apparel, home textiles, and industrial textiles.

Fabrics under code 540769 are subject to Regulation EU 1007/2011 for naming and labelling. REACH requires compliance with chemical substance restrictions, with particular attention to dyes, finishing agents, and impregnating substances. GPSR imposes general product safety requirements. Fabrics with special finishes such as waterproof or fire-retardant impregnation may contain additional chemicals subject to REACH assessment, including perfluorinated compounds and brominated flame retardants.

The customs declaration under CN code 540769 should include raw material composition, area weight, weave, width, and detailed finish description. Correct distinction between individual subheading codes requires precise information on the finish type. Importers should check current duty rates in TARIC. Preferential rates are available under FTA agreements.

Fabrics classified under CN 5407 69 are widely used in the apparel, upholstery and technical textiles sectors. The polyester-cotton blend combines synthetic durability with natural breathability. When importing these fabrics into the EU, correctly determining the fibre composition percentage is critical - the 85% polyester threshold determines classification. Importers should hold a fibre composition certificate and comply with REACH regulations on azo dyes and flame retardants.
