5512.19.00.22 - Of a width exceeding 254 cm (613) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5512.19.00.22, specifically covers woven fabrics composed of 85% or more by weight of synthetic staple fibers, where those synthetic staple fibers are predominantly polyester. The defining characteristic for this sub-classification is that the fabric's width exceeds 254 centimeters. These fabrics are typically used in applications requiring large continuous pieces, such as bedding, industrial textiles, or specialized sheeting materials where a broad width is a functional necessity and cost-effective to produce without further seaming.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5512.19.00.27, "Other," by the precise width criterion. While both fall under the broader heading of "Other" woven fabrics containing 85% or more polyester staple fibers and not meeting specific content or weave descriptions, 5512.19.00.22 is exclusively for those fabrics manufactured with a width exceeding 254 cm. The "Other" sibling category would encompass fabrics of similar composition and construction but with a width of 254 cm or less.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories within 5512.19.00.22. The classification is finalized once the material composition (85% or more polyester staple fibers) and the width (exceeding 254 cm) are confirmed. This specificity ensures that broad-width polyester staple fiber fabrics are correctly identified and segregated for import/export purposes, reflecting their unique production characteristics and potential end-use applications.
