Last updated: July 2026 dataPiece-dyed blends of artificial staple fibers with secondary fibers other than wool, fine animal hair, or cotton — including synthetic staple fibers, flax, and similar materials — fall under this subheading, which covers a commercially diverse range of apparel and industrial fabrics. Italy leads US imports, with India, China, Turkey, and South Korea also supplying the market, reflecting both fashion-fabric and volume-production origins. The US schedule is among the most granular in the 5516 group, with dedicated lines for poplin/broadcloth, sheeting, cheesecloth/lawns, duck, satin/twill, oxford cloth (5516920070), and NESOI — making weave construction a critical classification variable. The oxford cloth line (5516920070) is unique to this subheading within the 5516 group and warrants particular attention for shirt-fabric importers.

Oxford cloth is a basket-weave or modified plain-weave fabric widely used in dress shirts and casual apparel. Its dedicated 10-digit line (5516920070) exists only in the dyed 'other fibers NESOI' subheading within the 5516 group, meaning importers of dyed oxford-weave fabrics blended with synthetic or other non-enumerated fibers must specifically identify the weave construction to avoid misclassification into the satin/twill or NESOI lines.
Classification depends on which secondary fiber predominates by weight after the artificial staple fiber component. If cotton is the primary secondary fiber, the fabric classifies under the cotton-mix subheading (551642); if a synthetic or other fiber outweighs the cotton component, the 'other fibers NESOI' subheading (551692) applies. A laboratory fiber content analysis by weight is the standard method for resolving such blends, and the results should be retained as entry documentation.
