5512.99.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 5512.99.00, specifically addresses "Other" woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that contain 85 percent or more by weight of synthetic staple fibers. This category acts as a residual for woven fabrics falling under the broader heading of 5512 but not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings. The defining characteristic is the composition, where synthetic staple fibers overwhelmingly constitute the fabric's weight.

Unlike the sibling category 5512.91.00, which is designated for unbleached or bleached woven fabrics, this category encompasses fabrics that have undergone dyeing or printing processes, or those that are intentionally manufactured with inherent color variation. The distinction lies in the finished state of the fabric, focusing on whether it has been subjected to bleaching or remains in its natural, undyed state.

The subcategories under 5512.99.00 further refine this residual classification by differentiating based on specific weave structures and color treatments. The subdivisions include fabrics woven from yarns of different colors (excluding blue denim and jacquard weaves), blue denim, and a further "Other" category for any remaining woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that meet the 85% threshold but do not fit the more specific color or weave patterns. This hierarchical breakdown allows for precise identification of diverse fabric types within the broader scope of woven synthetic staple fiber fabrics.
