Overview
This HTS category, 5515.11.00, specifically classifies woven fabrics composed primarily or exclusively of synthetic staple fibers where the other constituent fiber is viscose rayon staple fibers. These fabrics are characterized by their blend of synthetic and regenerated cellulosic fibers, offering a combination of properties that can include drape, absorbency, and aesthetic appeal. Examples include fabrics used for apparel, home furnishings, and industrial applications where the specific characteristics of both fiber types are desired.
It is important to distinguish this classification from its siblings. Unlike 5515.12.00, which covers fabrics blended with man-made filaments, or 5515.13, which involves mixtures with wool or fine animal hair, this category is solely concerned with blends involving viscose rayon staple fibers. The "Other" category (5515.19.00) serves as a residual for woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that do not fit into the more specific blends outlined in this heading.
The subcategories within 5515.11.00 further refine the classification based on specific weave patterns and color treatments. 5515.11.00.05 addresses fabrics made from yarns of different colors, excluding those with blue denim or jacquard weaves. 5515.11.00.10 is designated for blue denim fabrics, a distinct category due to its widespread use and recognizable characteristics. The remaining "Other" subcategory would capture any remaining fabrics within this blend that do not meet the specific criteria for the color-dyed or blue denim classifications.
