5516.92.00.90 - Other (220)

This HTS subcategory, 5516.92.00.90, encompasses woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that are dyed, but do not fall under any of the more specifically defined sibling categories. These fabrics are characterized by their construction from artificial staple fibers, which are short, discrete lengths of man-made filament. The defining feature of this group is that they have undergone a dyeing process to impart a uniform color.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For example, while this category covers dyed woven artificial staple fabrics, it specifically excludes those classified as poplin or broadcloth (5516.92.00.10), sheeting (5516.92.00.20), printcloth (5516.92.00.30), cheesecloth, lawns, voiles or batistes (5516.92.00.40), and duck (5516.92.00.50). The exclusion is based on specific weave structures, yarn densities, or intended end-uses associated with those named categories.

As 5516.92.00.90 represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this specific code hinges on the fabric being composed of artificial staple fibers, being a woven fabric, having been dyed, and crucially, not fitting the descriptions of any of the more precise sibling classifications. This residual category serves as a catch-all for dyed woven artificial staple fabrics that do not meet the more specialized criteria of other entries at this level.
