5516.14.00.95 - Other (611)

This HTS classification, 5516.14.00.95, covers woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that contain 85 percent or more by weight of artificial staple fibers and are printed, but do not fall under the specific category of "discharge printed." The term "other" in this context signifies a residual category for printed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that are not explicitly classified elsewhere at this level. These fabrics are typically characterized by a printed design or pattern applied to the surface of the fabric.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 5516.14.00.85 ("Discharge printed"), it's crucial to understand the printing method. Discharge printing involves removing color from a dyed fabric to create a pattern, whereas other printing methods involve applying color to the fabric's surface. Therefore, fabrics classified under 5516.14.00.95 would include those printed using techniques such as screen printing, roller printing, or digital printing where color is added, rather than removed.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 5516.14.00.95 is final and is determined by the material composition (at least 85% artificial staple fibers), the woven construction, and the fact that it is printed, excluding the specific "discharge printed" method. This classification aims to capture all remaining printed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers meeting the weight threshold.
