Heading 5516 — Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibres
Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibres
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 551624 when importing or exporting printed woven fabrics that contain less than 85% artificial staple fibers, primarily mixed with man-made filaments. An example would be a shipment of printed polyester-cotton blend fabric used for clothing.
This code specifically applies to fabrics that are predominantly made from artificial filaments but do not exceed the 85% threshold for staple fibers. For instance, a printed fabric consisting of 70% polyester and 30% cotton would fall under this classification.
In contrast, HS-6 551621 covers similar fabrics but with at least 85% artificial staple fibers. If your fabric is primarily made up of synthetic fibers, you would need to classify it differently to comply with customs regulations.
When considering HS-6 551624, be aware that it also includes fabrics that may be used in upholstery or home textiles, as long as they meet the composition criteria. This can include printed curtains or decorative cushions made from the specified fabric blend.
