5512.11.00.22 - Of a width exceeding 254 cm (613) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5512.11.00.22, specifically covers woven fabrics composed of 85% or more by weight of synthetic staple fibers, where these synthetic staple fibers are predominantly polyester. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is that the fabric is either unbleached or has undergone a bleaching process. The fabric is also specifically defined as "sheeting."

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5512.11.00.27 ("Other"), is crucial. While both fall under the umbrella of unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers, this node is reserved for sheeting types, implying a particular construction or intended use often associated with bedding or similar textile products. The "Other" category would encompass unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers that do not meet the specific criteria for sheeting, potentially including fabrics with different weaves, widths, or end-uses.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the confirmed presence of over 85% polyester staple fibers, the fabric being unbleached or bleached, and its classification as sheeting, with a width exceeding 254 cm. Importers and exporters should ensure that all these material and physical characteristics are clearly documented to support this specific classification.
