5516.12.00.90 - Other (611)

This HTS category, 5516.12.00.90, encompasses woven fabrics primarily composed of artificial staple fibers. Specifically, it applies to fabrics where artificial staple fibers constitute 85 percent or more of the total weight and have been dyed. The "Other" designation signifies that these fabrics do not fall under more specific weave patterns classified elsewhere within this sub-heading.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Categories 5516.12.00.10 and 5516.12.00.20 are reserved for dyed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that exhibit plain weave, satin weave, or twill weave respectively. Therefore, 5516.12.00.90 is the residual category for dyed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers (85% or more by weight) that do not conform to these specified weave types.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification under 5516.12.00.90 is determined by meeting the weight percentage requirement for artificial staple fibers and the fact that the fabric is dyed, while excluding the explicitly defined weave patterns found in its sibling categories. This ensures that all dyed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers, not otherwise specified by weave, are appropriately accounted for.
