5516.42.00.60 - Satin weave or twill weave (617)

This HTS category, 5516.42.00.60, specifically covers woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that contain less than 85% by weight of artificial staple fibers, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, and are dyed. The defining characteristic for this classification is the presence of a satin weave or a twill weave structure, along with the specified fiber composition and dyeing process. These fabrics are utilized in a variety of textile applications where the specific weave imparts a distinct texture and drape.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its precise weave construction. While other categories at this level may describe poplin, broadcloth, printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, or duck, this classification is exclusively for fabrics woven in a satin or twill pattern. The underlying fiber content and dyeing status remain consistent across these related subheadings within the "dyed" category.

As 5516.42.00.60 represents a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Classification into this specific HTS code is determined by the fulfillment of all criteria: woven fabric of artificial staple fibers, a fiber content mix below 85% artificial staple fibers with cotton, the fabric is dyed, and it exhibits a satin or twill weave. Examples of such fabrics could include certain types of satin-back twill or fine twill fabrics used for apparel linings or decorative textiles.
