5516.91.00.20 - Sheeting (613)

HTS code 5516.91.00.20 specifically classifies sheeting made from artificial staple fibers that are unbleached or bleached. This category encompasses woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers characterized by their application as sheeting material. The defining feature is the fabric's intended use in bedding or similar applications, distinguishing it from other woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers based on its functional purpose.

This classification is further refined by its position within the broader category of "Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers: Other: Unbleached or bleached." It differentiates itself from sibling categories such as poplin or broadcloth (5516.91.00.10), printcloth (5516.91.00.30), cheesecloth; lawns, voiles or batistes (5516.91.00.40), duck (5516.91.00.50), and fabrics in satin weave or twill weave (5516.91.00.60) primarily by the end-use of sheeting. While other siblings are defined by weave structure or specific textile types, this code is dictated by the fabric's role as sheeting.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 5516.91.00.20 relies on the fabric being manufactured from artificial staple fibers, being in an unbleached or bleached state, and being intended for use as sheeting. The physical characteristics of the woven fabric, such as its construction and weight, will be critical in determining its suitability for sheeting applications and thus its correct classification.
