About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 5516.12.00.20, specifically covers woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that contain 85 percent or more by weight of artificial staple fibers and are dyed. The defining characteristic of this category is the specific weave construction: satin weave or twill weave. These weaves create distinct surface textures and drape qualities in the fabric.

It's important to distinguish this category from its siblings. Category 5516.12.00.10 covers fabrics with a plain weave, which has a simpler interlacing pattern compared to the satin or twill weaves. Category 5516.12.00.90 serves as a catch-all for other weave types not specifically enumerated, making the satin or twill weave a key differentiating factor for this particular code.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code is determined by the material composition (85% or more artificial staple fibers), the fact that it is dyed, and importantly, the specific satin or twill weave construction. Examples of fabrics falling under this classification would include certain types of satins and twills made from fibers like rayon or modal staple, which are dyed to a uniform color.
