5512.99.00.90 - Other (220)

This classification, HTS Code 5512.99.00.90, covers woven fabrics manufactured predominantly from synthetic staple fibers, specifically those containing 85% or more by weight of such fibers. This "Other" designation signifies that the fabric does not fall into more specific subcategories within the broader classification of "Other" woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers. The key characteristic is its composition and weave, which do not align with the defined categories for poplin, sheeting, printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, or duck.

To properly classify a fabric under this code, it must first meet the primary condition of being woven and composed of at least 85% synthetic staple fibers. Subsequently, it must be examined to ensure it does not possess the specific weave structures or intended uses that would place it within sibling categories like poplin (a plain weave with a high thread count), sheeting (often used for bedding), printcloth (designed for printing patterns), or duck (characterized by its plain weave and high thread count, typically used for heavy-duty applications). If the fabric's construction and characteristics do not conform to these established types, it is then appropriately classified as "Other."

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, classification under 5512.99.00.90 is the final determination for woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that do not fit into the more precisely defined categories within the "Other" grouping at this level. Importers and exporters should meticulously review the fabric's composition and weave against the descriptions of the sibling categories to ensure accurate classification.
