5516.92.00.20 - Sheeting (613)

This HTS classification, 5516.92.00.20, specifically addresses sheeting made from artificial staple fibers that have been dyed. The term "sheeting" in this context generally refers to woven fabrics with a relatively plain weave, often characterized by a balanced warp and weft count, and commonly used for bedding, apparel, and other textile products where a smooth, flat surface is desired. The key classification criteria here are the material composition (artificial staple fibers) and the finishing process (dyed).

This category is distinct from its siblings which are differentiated by specific weave types or fabric constructions. For instance, 5516.92.00.10 is reserved for poplin or broadcloth, known for their fine, lustrous surface and often a distinct lengthwise rib. Similarly, 5516.92.00.30 pertains to printcloth, which is typically a lighter weight fabric designed for printing. The inclusion of "Sheeting (613)" as the description, when other more specific constructions are listed as siblings, implies that this code captures those woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers, dyed, that do not fit the more precise definitions of the other sibling categories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification under 5516.92.00.20 relies on meeting the general criteria of being a woven fabric of artificial staple fibers, dyed, and fitting the description of sheeting without conforming to the specific weave structures or fabric types enumerated in its sibling classifications. Careful examination of the fabric's weave, weight, and intended use is crucial for accurate classification.
