Overview

This HTS classification, 5516.21.00.90, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that are unbleached or bleached. These fabrics fall under the broader category of woven fabrics containing less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. The "Other" designation signifies that these particular fabrics do not fit the specific weave types detailed in the preceding sibling categories.

To properly classify a fabric within this 5516.21.00 group, it is crucial to first determine if it meets the criteria of containing less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers, with the remainder being man-made filaments. If this condition is met, the fabric is then assessed for its weave. Sibling categories such as 5516.21.00.10 (Poplin or broadcloth), 5516.21.00.20 (Sheeting), 5516.21.00.30 (Printcloth), and 5516.21.00.40 (Satin weave or twill weave) specifically identify common weaves. If a fabric does not align with any of these defined weaves, it is classified under this residual "Other" category.

Since 5516.21.00.90 is a terminal node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level therefore relies on a meticulous examination of the fabric's construction and composition to ensure it is not specifically accounted for by the more defined sibling categories, while still adhering to the overarching requirement of being an unbleached or bleached woven fabric predominantly composed of artificial staple fibers blended with man-made filaments.
