5516.94.00.90 - Other (220)

This classification, HTS Code 5516.94.00.90, covers woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers that are printed and do not fall under any of the more specific printed fabric categories at the same level. These fabrics are characterized by the presence of artificial staple fibers, which are short, discrete lengths of synthetic or regenerated fibers, spun into yarn. The printing process applied to these fabrics creates decorative patterns or designs.

Unlike sibling categories such as poplin or broadcloth (5516.94.00.10), sheeting (5516.94.00.20), printcloth (5516.94.00.30), cheesecloth, lawns, voiles or batistes (5516.94.00.40), or duck (5516.94.00.50), this residual category is for printed fabrics that do not conform to the specific weave structures or fabric types listed in those more granular classifications. The distinguishing factor is the absence of a defined weave construction or specific fabric type when compared to its siblings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. Therefore, classification into 5516.94.00.90 depends on a fabric meeting the general criteria of being a woven fabric of artificial staple fibers, being printed, and not fitting the descriptive criteria of any of the more specific printed fabric subheadings within 5516.94.00. This residual classification ensures that all remaining printed woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers are accounted for within the tariff schedule.
