Overview

This HTS subcategory, 5516.44.00.50, specifically covers printed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that contain less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers, mixed mainly or solely with cotton. The term "Duck" refers to a specific type of plain-weave fabric, typically made with a high thread count, known for its durability and often used for items such as workwear, canvas, and upholstery.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it is important to note that while other sibling categories might also be printed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers mixed with cotton, they are further defined by distinct weave structures or fabric types. For instance, "Poplin or broadcloth" (5516.44.00.10) and "Printcloth" (5516.44.00.30) denote specific weave patterns and constructions, while "Cheesecloth; lawns, voiles or batistes" (5516.44.00.40) refers to lighter, often more sheer fabrics. Similarly, "Satin weave or twill weave" (5516.44.00.60) clearly differentiates based on weave type. The "Duck" classification focuses on the characteristic sturdy weave and fabric density associated with this specific textile.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 5516.44.00.50. Therefore, classification into this code relies solely on meeting all the preceding criteria: the fabric must be a woven fabric of artificial staple fibers, contain less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with cotton, and be printed with the specific characteristic weave and construction of "Duck" fabric.
