Overview

This HTS category, 5516.21.00.40, specifically classifies woven fabrics manufactured from artificial staple fibers. These fabrics are characterized by a satin weave or a twill weave. Crucially, for a fabric to fall under this designation, it must contain less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers, with the remainder being primarily man-made filaments. Furthermore, the fabrics in this subcategory are either unbleached or have undergone a bleaching process.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings involves understanding the specific weave structures and descriptive terms used. While 5516.21.00.10 covers poplin or broadcloth weaves, and 5516.21.00.20 covers sheeting, and 5516.21.00.30 covers printcloth, this category is reserved for those fabrics exhibiting a satin or twill weave construction. The residual category, 5516.21.00.90, acts as a catch-all for other weave types not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 5516.21.00.40 is determined by confirming the material composition (less than 85% artificial staple fibers, mixed with man-made filaments), the processing state (unbleached or bleached), and the specific fabric weave (satin or twill). Examples of goods that would fall here include certain types of satin linings or twill-woven artificial fiber fabrics intended for apparel or upholstery.
