5208.22.60.60 - Printcloth (315) 🖩

This HTS category, specifically 5208.22.60.60, covers "Printcloth" when it meets the specified criteria. Printcloth, in this context, refers to a plain weave cotton fabric, bleached, that weighs more than 100 g/m² but not more than 200 g/m², and is manufactured from yarns of numbered counts between 43 and 68. These fabrics are typically characterized by their relatively fine weave and are often used as a base for printing various patterns.

This classification distinguishes "Printcloth" from its siblings such as "Poplin or broadcloth" (5208.22.60.20), which generally have a finer yarn count and a distinct ribbed texture; "Sheeting" (5208.22.60.40), which is typically heavier and often used for bedding; and "Cheesecloth" (5208.22.60.90), which is characterized by its open, gauze-like weave. The distinction relies on the specific yarn count range, weave structure, and weight per square meter as defined by the HTS.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 5208.22.60.60. Therefore, classification within this code is definitive for printcloth that meets all the preceding criteria. The specific yarn count range (43 to 68) is a crucial determinant for classifying a fabric as printcloth within this specific sub-heading, ensuring accurate tariff application.
