5512.91.00.60 - Satin weave or twill weave (617)

This HTS classification, 5512.91.00.60, specifically covers woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers where synthetic staple fibers constitute 85% or more of the total weight. The defining characteristic of this category is its weave construction, which is either a satin weave or a twill weave. These weaves are known for their smooth surfaces (satin) or diagonal rib patterns (twill), creating distinct visual and textural properties compared to other fabric structures.

This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by the specific weave type. For instance, sibling categories might cover poplin, sheeting, printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, or duck weaves. Unlike those categories which are defined by their particular weave patterns or intended uses, this node is exclusively for fabrics exhibiting the lustrous drape of a satin weave or the robust diagonal lines of a twill weave.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the material composition (85% or more synthetic staple fibers) and the specific weave construction (satin or twill). Importers and exporters must visually inspect the fabric and, if necessary, consult technical specifications to confirm the presence of a satin or twill weave to ensure correct classification.
