Overview
This HTS category encompasses woven fabrics manufactured from artificial staple fibers. A key defining characteristic is that these fabrics are specifically *not combed*. The composition dictates inclusion here: they must contain less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers, with the remaining material being a blend primarily or solely with wool or fine animal hair. Furthermore, these fabrics must be dyed.
The distinction between this category and its sibling lies solely in the processing of the artificial staple fibers. This classification applies when the artificial staple fibers used in the fabric have *not* undergone the combing process. Conversely, the sibling category, 5516.32.05.20, covers fabrics made from *combed* artificial staple fibers under identical percentage and dyeing conditions. This difference in fiber preparation is the sole determinant for classification at this level.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions at this point depend on accurately assessing the fiber composition (percentage of artificial staple fibers versus wool/fine animal hair), confirming the absence of combing in the artificial staple fibers, verifying the fabric is dyed, and ensuring it is woven. Examples would include specific types of suiting or dress fabrics that meet these precise material and processing criteria.
