Heading 5516 — Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibres
Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibres
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 551644 when importing or exporting printed woven fabrics that contain less than 85% artificial staple fibers, primarily mixed with cotton. For example, a shipment of cotton-blend tablecloths featuring printed designs would fall under this code.
This HS-6 line specifically addresses fabrics that are woven and printed, distinguishing them from other woven fabrics that may contain higher percentages of artificial fibers. For instance, HS-6 551645 covers similar fabrics but with a higher concentration of artificial fibers.
When classifying your product, consider the fiber composition. If your fabric is primarily cotton with only a small percentage of artificial fibers, HS-6 551644 is likely the correct code. In contrast, fabrics with a higher artificial fiber content would require a different classification.
Fabrics under this code are often used in home textiles, apparel, and upholstery. Understanding the fiber blend is crucial for accurate classification and compliance with import regulations.
