5512.29.00 - Other

This HTS category, 5512.29.00, encompasses woven fabrics predominantly composed of synthetic staple fibers, specifically where acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers constitute 85 percent or more of the total weight. It specifically addresses fabrics that do not fall under the "unbleached or bleached" designation of its sibling category, 5512.21.00. Therefore, this classification applies to woven fabrics of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers that have undergone dyeing or printing processes, or are presented in colors other than their natural, unbleached, or bleached state.

The distinction from its sibling, 5512.21.00, lies in the absence of a bleached or unbleached state. This means fabrics classified here will have been treated to impart color, whether through dyeing the yarns prior to weaving or by printing the fabric after weaving. The underlying material composition remains the same: at least 85% synthetic staple fibers, with acrylic or modacrylic being the dominant component.

Within this broader "Other" designation, further subcategories exist to refine classification based on specific fabric constructions and color presentations. These include distinctions for fabrics woven from yarns of different colors (excluding specific types like blue denim or jacquard weaves), and a dedicated category for blue denim. The presence of these subcategories allows for more precise tariff application based on the visual and structural characteristics of the colored woven fabrics.
