5516.22.00.90 - Other (629) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5516.22.00.90, encompasses "Other" woven fabrics that are predominantly made from artificial staple fibers. Specifically, these fabrics contain less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers, with the balance being man-made filaments. The key distinguishing characteristic for this subcategory is that the resulting fabrics have been dyed. This means the color is applied to the fabric after weaving, as opposed to being inherent in the yarns used for weaving.

This "Other" category serves as a residual for dyed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that do not fit into the more specific sibling categories. These siblings are defined by their weave patterns, such as poplin or broadcloth (5516.22.00.10), sheeting (5516.22.00.20), printcloth (5516.22.00.30), and satin weave or twill weave (5516.22.00.40). Therefore, if a dyed fabric made from artificial staple fibers and mixed with man-made filaments does not conform to the weave structures of these named categories, it will be classified under 5516.22.00.90. Examples might include fabrics with less common weave structures or those where the weave is not readily identifiable as one of the specific types listed.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this level based on the material composition, the dyeing process, and the absence of a specific weave pattern that would place it into a more granular sibling category.
