5512.11.00.90 - Other (220)

This HTS code, 5512.11.00.90, classifies "Other" woven fabrics composed of 85 percent or more by weight of synthetic staple fibers, specifically polyester staple fibers, that are either unbleached or bleached. These fabrics are distinct from those specified in other sibling categories by their weave construction or intended end-use. For instance, it excludes poplin or broadcloth (5512.11.00.10), various types of printcloth (5512.11.00.30), and specialized weaves like cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes (5512.11.00.40), and duck (5512.11.00.50).

The "Other" designation signifies that this category captures a wide array of woven fabrics that meet the primary material and processing criteria (85% or more polyester staple fiber, unbleached or bleached) but do not fall into the more specific sub-classifications at this level. Examples might include plain weaves, twills, satins, or dobby weaves that are not otherwise enumerated under the sibling codes. The key is that the fabric is primarily constructed from polyester staple fibers and has undergone bleaching, but its specific weave structure or common trade name is not one of the listed categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 5512.11.00.90. Therefore, the classification relies on accurately identifying the fabric's composition and processing status and ensuring it does not fit into any of the more narrowly defined sibling classifications. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the fabric's construction and compare it against the descriptions of the preceding sibling codes to confirm the correct classification under this "Other" category.
