About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification, HTS Code 5516.91.00.90, encompasses woven fabrics manufactured from artificial staple fibers that are neither printed nor have a check, stripe, or other pattern. Crucially, these fabrics are either unbleached or have undergone a bleaching process. The term "artificial staple fibers" refers to spun or chopped man-made fibers, as opposed to continuous filaments.

This "Other" category serves as a residual classification for unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that do not fit into more specific descriptions like poplin, sheeting, printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, or duck. For instance, if a woven fabric of artificial staple fiber is unbleached or bleached and doesn't conform to the weave structure or characteristic appearance of the aforementioned types, it would likely be classified here.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 5516.91.00.90 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the key to accurate classification lies in carefully examining the fabric's physical properties, construction, and the absence of printing or specific patterns, while confirming that it is composed of artificial staple fibers and is in an unbleached or bleached state.
