5516.43.00.35 - Of a width exceeding 127 cm (218)

This HTS classification, 5516.43.00.35, specifically designates woven fabrics composed primarily of artificial staple fibers, where these fibers constitute less than 85 percent by weight and are blended mainly or solely with cotton. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the fabric has a width exceeding 127 centimeters. This broad width is a critical factor in distinguishing it from other woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers.

This classification is differentiated from its sibling category, 5516.43.00.80, by the precise width of the fabric. While both fall under woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers containing less than 85 percent artificial staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with cotton and featuring yarns of different colors, 5516.43.00.35 applies only to those fabrics with a width greater than 127 cm. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 5516.43.00.35 rests on confirming the material composition (less than 85% artificial staple fibers, mixed mainly or solely with cotton), the presence of yarns of different colors, and the specified fabric width exceeding 127 cm. Examples of goods that would fall here include wide-width upholstery fabrics, drapery materials, or apparel fabrics produced on wider looms utilizing these specific fiber blends and colorations.
