5515.99.90 - Other

This category, HTS 5515.99.90, encompasses a broad range of woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic staple fibers that do not fall under more specific subheadings within Chapter 55. These fabrics are characterized by their construction from staple fibers, meaning short, discontinuous lengths of synthetic filament, which are then spun into yarn before weaving. The "Other" designation signifies that these woven fabrics do not meet the criteria for classification under more narrowly defined descriptions of synthetic staple fiber woven fabrics, such as those mixed with wool or fine animal hair, or specific types like blue denim or jacquard weaves.

To distinguish this "Other" category, it's important to consider its exclusion from its sibling, "Mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair." This means fabrics classified here are predominantly, if not exclusively, composed of synthetic staple fibers, with minimal or no admixture of wool or fine animal hair. Furthermore, it captures woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that are not specifically identified elsewhere by weave type or color pattern, as defined in the subcategories.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to provide greater specificity. These subcategories, such as those for yarns of different colors (excluding specific weaves like blue denim or jacquard) and blue denim itself, allow for the precise classification of fabrics based on their construction and aesthetic properties. The remaining "Other" designation within this branch serves as a residual category for woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that do not fit these more detailed subheadings, ensuring comprehensive coverage within the framework of the HTS.
