Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, containing 85 percent or more by weight of synthetic staple fibers

Heading 5512 covers woven fabrics made of synthetic staple fibers that contain 85% or more by weight of those fibers. It splits first by fiber type: polyester (5512.11 and 5512.19), acrylic or modacrylic (5512.21 and 5512.29), and other synthetic staple fibers (5512.91 and 5512.99). Each fiber group then splits by color state, unbleached or bleached versus other, and finally by weave or finish type such as poplin, sheeting, printcloth, duck, twill, or oxford cloth.
