About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification, HTS Code 5516.42.00.70, specifically covers Oxford cloth manufactured from artificial staple fibers. This category falls under "Dyed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers" where the fabric contains less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers, mixed mainly or solely with cotton. The "Oxford cloth" designation signifies a distinctive basket weave construction, typically characterized by its durability and textured appearance.

Within its sibling categories, this classification is distinguished by the specific weave pattern. For instance, while 5516.42.00.10 covers poplin or broadcloth, and 5516.42.00.50 covers duck, both featuring different weave structures, this entry exclusively identifies the Oxford weave. Other siblings address specific fabric types like printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, or batistes, each with their own characteristic weaves and weights.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise identification of Oxford cloth within the broader context of dyed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers and cotton. Classification hinges on confirming the basket weave construction and the fiber composition meeting the specified percentages.
