5516.44.00.22 - Of a width exceeding 127 cm (613) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5516.44.00.22, specifically covers printed woven fabrics that are primarily composed of artificial staple fibers, but contain less than 85% of these fibers and are mixed mainly or solely with cotton. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its width, which must exceed 127 cm. These fabrics are typically used for sheeting purposes, indicating their application in bedding and similar textile products where a wider fabric is required for efficient manufacturing and finishing.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its width requirement. While its sibling category, 5516.44.00.27, also falls under printed woven fabrics containing less than 85% artificial staple fibers mixed with cotton and intended for sheeting, it encompasses all such fabrics with a width of 127 cm or less. Therefore, the key differentiator for 5516.44.00.22 is the provision for wider sheeting fabrics.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. The classification is complete at this level, based on the material composition, printing, intended use (sheeting), and crucially, the width of the fabric. Importers and exporters should carefully measure the fabric width to ensure accurate classification under either this category or its sibling.
