5516.42.00.27 - Other (613)

This HTS category, 5516.42.00.27, specifically classifies dyed sheeting fabrics that are woven from artificial staple fibers. The defining characteristic of these fabrics is that they contain less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers, and are mixed mainly or solely with cotton. This classification applies to sheeting materials, meaning fabrics typically used for bedding, such as sheets and pillowcases, or other similar household textile items where the weave structure and end-use align with the definition of sheeting.

The distinction of this subcategory lies in its specific application to "sheeting" materials. While its sibling category, 5516.42.00.22, also covers dyed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with cotton and not exceeding 85% artificial staple fibers, it differentiates based on fabric width, specifying those exceeding 127 cm. Therefore, 5516.42.00.27 is for sheeting fabrics that do not meet the width specification of the sibling, or where the width is not the primary differentiating factor.

As this node is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive based on the material composition (less than 85% artificial staple fibers, predominantly mixed with cotton), the manufacturing process (woven), the presence of artificial staple fibers, the dyeing process, and the intended end-use as sheeting fabric, in conjunction with any specified width limitations of its siblings.
