5516.14.00 - Printed

This category, HTS Code 5516.14.00, specifically covers woven fabrics manufactured from artificial staple fibers that are printed. The "printed" designation signifies that the fabric has undergone a printing process to impart a pattern or design. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification.

To differentiate from its siblings, this category is not for unbleached or bleached fabrics (5516.11.00), nor for dyed fabrics where the color is applied uniformly before weaving or as a solid color after weaving (5516.12.00). It is also distinct from fabrics made from yarns of different colors, which create inherent patterns through the multicolored yarns themselves (5516.13.00.00). This category exclusively addresses fabrics where the color or pattern is applied via a printing method.

The subcategories within this node further refine the classification based on the weave structure of the fabric. Fabrics are categorized into "Plain weave," "Satin weave or twill weave," or "Other" weave structures. This allows for a more precise identification of the fabric's construction, which is a key factor in the HTS classification system and impacts potential duties or trade regulations.
