5516.94.00.20 - Sheeting (613)

This classification, HTS Code 5516.94.00.20, specifically covers "Sheeting" manufactured from artificial staple fibers. Sheeting, in this context, refers to fabrics that are typically characterized by their plain weave construction and are commonly used for bedding, apparel, and other textile applications where a smooth, durable, and relatively lightweight fabric is desired. The key distinguishing factor for this category lies in its broad applicability beyond specific weave types or named fabrics, focusing on the general utility and construction of a sheeting fabric.

It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling entries. For example, while 5516.94.00.10 covers specific plain weaves like poplin or broadcloth, and 5516.94.00.30 refers to printcloth, this "Sheeting" category is more general. It encompasses woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that meet the functional and structural characteristics of sheeting but may not fit the more narrowly defined weave types or specific named fabrics within the other sibling categories. This classification serves as a catch-all for sheeting fabrics not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 5516.94.00.20 relies on the material composition (artificial staple fibers), the weave (typically plain weave, although not explicitly stated, it's implied by the term "sheeting"), and the absence of other specific classifications within the "Other" and "Printed" categories of woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers. The term "Sheeting" is the primary determinant for goods falling into this specific HTS code.
