5516.94.00 - Printed

This HTS category, 5516.94.00, specifically covers woven fabrics manufactured from artificial staple fibers that have been printed. The "printed" designation is the key characteristic for classification under this heading, indicating that the fabric has undergone a printing process to impart a pattern or design. This distinguishes it from other "other" woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers which are unbleached, bleached, dyed, or made of yarns of different colors, as detailed in the sibling categories.

The subcategories under 5516.94.00 further refine the classification based on weave type or specific fabric constructions that have been printed. For instance, it differentiates between poplin or broadcloth, sheeting, and printcloth constructions, each with distinct characteristics in terms of yarn count, thread count, and weave. Other subcategories address specific weaves like satin or twill, or specialized fabrics such as cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, and duck, all of which have been subjected to a printing process. This granular breakdown allows for precise identification of printed woven fabrics based on their construction and appearance.
