5512.91.00.20 - Sheeting (613) 🖩

This HTS category, 5512.91.00.20, specifically classifies sheeting woven from synthetic staple fibers. For a fabric to fall under this heading, it must contain 85 percent or more by weight of synthetic staple fibers, and it must be classified as "Other" woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers. The "Unbleached or bleached" subheading indicates the processing state of these particular types of sheeting. This classification is distinct from other categories at this level, such as poplin, broadcloth, printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, duck, or those defined by specific weave structures like satin or twill. These sibling categories are differentiated by their specific fabric constructions, weaves, or intended uses, even though they may share the same fiber content and general processing state.

The term "sheeting" in this context refers to fabrics that are typically manufactured for use in bedding, such as sheets and pillowcases, or for other household textile purposes where a relatively plain, durable weave is common. While the broad category of woven synthetic staple fiber fabrics encompasses a wide array of textiles, this particular subheading carves out a distinct classification for these specific sheeting constructions. As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within 5512.91.00.20. Therefore, accurate classification relies on distinguishing these sheeting fabrics from the more specifically defined weaves and fabric types found in its sibling categories, ensuring the correct customs treatment based on the fabric's construction and intended primary use.
