Overview

This HTS category, 5512.99.00.20, specifically classifies "Sheeting" that is woven from synthetic staple fibers, where such fibers constitute 85 percent or more by weight of the total. Sheeting, in this context, generally refers to woven fabrics typically used for bedding purposes. The classification hinges on the fabric's composition (predominantly synthetic staple fibers) and its intended use, aligning with the broader scope of woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's crucial to note that while all fall under "Other" within the woven synthetic staple fiber fabric classification, 5512.99.00.20 is specifically designated for fabrics characterized by their sheeting construction and primary use. Sibling categories such as poplin/broadcloth (5512.99.00.15), printcloth (5512.99.00.25), cheesecloth/lawns/voiles/batistes (5512.99.00.30), and duck (5512.99.00.35) are differentiated by their specific weave structures, densities, or traditional end-uses. Similarly, the satin weave or twill weave category (5512.99.00.40) is defined by its distinct diagonal ribbing effect.

As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies on a comprehensive assessment of the fabric's physical characteristics, particularly its weight, weave type, and the predominant use for which it is manufactured, to ensure accurate distinction from other "other" classifications within the "Other" groupings.
