5516.41.00.22 - Of a width exceeding 127 cm (613)

This HTS classification, 5516.41.00.22, specifically designates woven fabrics composed of artificial staple fibers, where these artificial fibers constitute less than 85% by weight and are primarily or exclusively mixed with cotton. The key defining characteristic for this particular sub-classification is that these fabrics are unbleached or bleached and possess a width exceeding 127 centimeters. This width specification is crucial for distinguishing these fabrics from others within the same broader category.

The distinction from its sibling category, 5516.41.00.27, lies solely in the physical dimension of the fabric. While both are unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers with cotton, this specific code (5516.41.00.22) applies only to those manufactured to be wider than 127 cm. The "Other" category (5516.41.00.27) would encompass fabrics of the same composition and preparation but with widths at or below 127 cm, or potentially other nuanced differences not explicitly detailed at this level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions at this point rely entirely on the precise definition of the fabric's fiber content, preparation (unbleached or bleached), and its measured width. Practical application would involve verifying the weight percentage of artificial staple fibers and cotton, confirming the absence of other significant fiber blends, and measuring the fabric's width to ensure it surpasses the 127 cm threshold.
