5516.44.00.27 - Other (613)

This HTS code, 5516.44.00.27, specifically classifies printed woven fabrics composed of artificial staple fibers. The key characteristic is that these fabrics contain less than 85% by weight of artificial staple fibers, with the remainder being primarily cotton. This classification applies to sheeting fabrics, which are generally characterized by their plain weave and are often used for bedding and similar purposes. The printing process is a defining feature, distinguishing these fabrics from those that are dyed or unfinished.

Within the "Printed" category under woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers containing less than 85% artificial staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with cotton, this specific code differentiates based on the width of the fabric. While its sibling category, 5516.44.00.22, covers sheeting of a width exceeding 127 cm, this code, 5516.44.00.27, is designated for sheeting of other dimensions, typically meaning those with a width of 127 cm or less. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application based on the physical dimensions of the textile product.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of the fabric type, its fiber composition, the presence of printing, and its width to ensure correct entry. Classification within this code relies on confirming the material composition (predominantly artificial staple fibers with cotton admixture), the printing method, and that the fabric is a sheeting type with a width not exceeding 127 cm.
