About heading 5516

Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers

Heading 5516 covers woven fabrics made of artificial staple fibers, such as viscose rayon, modal, lyocell and acetate staple. The heading splits first by fiber content: subheadings 5516.11 through 5516.14 cover fabrics with 85% or more artificial staple fibers, while the rest cover fabrics with less than 85% mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments, wool or fine animal hair, cotton, or other materials. Each group is then split by finish (unbleached or bleached, dyed, yarns of different colors, printed) and by weave or fabric type.
