5515.21.00.20 - Sheeting (627)

This HTS category, 5515.21.00.20, specifically covers sheeting made from woven fabrics composed of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers. These fabrics are distinguished by the presence of man-made filaments, present mainly or solely alongside the staple fibers, which contribute to the fabric's texture and performance characteristics. The "sheeting" designation refers to fabrics with a construction typically characterized by a plain weave, a thread count that often falls within a certain range, and a finishing suitable for use in bedding or similar applications, although the term can also encompass broader applications where a similar fabric structure is employed.

To differentiate this subcategory, consider its siblings. For instance, 5515.21.00.10 specifically covers poplin and broadcloth, which are distinct weave structures with unique appearances and thread interlacing patterns. Similarly, 5515.21.00.30 is for printcloth, generally a lighter weight fabric designed for printing designs. 5515.21.00.40 targets satin weave or twill weave fabrics, which exhibit characteristic diagonal ribbing or a lustrous surface, respectively, due to their specific interlacing methods. This category for "sheeting" therefore applies to fabrics that do not fit these more specific weave descriptions but meet the criteria of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers mixed with filaments and are intended for sheeting purposes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 5515.21.00.20 is therefore conclusive based on the fabric's composition (acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers predominantly, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments) and its intended end-use or characteristic weave structure aligning with the general definition of sheeting, while excluding the more specifically defined weave types found in its sibling categories.
