Overview
This HTS subheading, 5515.29.00.20, specifically classifies "Sheeting" when manufactured from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, falling under the broader category of "Other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers." This designation applies to woven fabrics of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers that are not specifically defined or covered by other subheadings within the 5515.29.00 range. The term "sheeting" in this context generally refers to fabrics that are relatively plain in weave, with a moderate thread count, and are typically used for items such as bedding, apparel linings, or as general-purpose fabrics.
To distinguish this category from its siblings, consider the specific fabric types listed. For example, poplin or broadcloth (5515.29.00.15) are typically characterized by a finer weave and a more crisp hand, while printcloth (5515.29.00.25) is often a lighter weight fabric designed for printing. Other categories like cheesecloth, lawns, or voiles (5515.29.00.30) represent even lighter and more open weaves. Duck (5515.29.00.35) and fabrics classified under satin weave or twill weave (5515.29.00.40) denote specific weave structures that create distinct surface textures and fabric properties, differing from the more generic "sheeting" designation.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a fabric under 5515.29.00.20 hinges on its composition of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, its woven construction, and its general characteristics aligning with the concept of sheeting, while not meeting the specific criteria for more narrowly defined sibling categories. Proper identification of the yarn construction, weave, and end-use can be crucial for accurate classification within this group.
