5208.51.60.40 - Sheeting (313) 🖩

This HTS classification covers printed woven cotton sheeting that weighs not more than 100 g/m² and is of plain weave. Specifically, it applies to those printed cotton fabrics falling within the "Other" subcategory of plain weave sheeting under 200 g/m², which are not classified as poplin or broadcloth, printcloth, or cheesecloth. The defining characteristic is the presence of printed designs on a lightweight, plain weave cotton fabric with a weight limit of 100 g/m².

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5208.51.60.20 (Poplin or broadcloth) is characterized by a distinct twill weave, while 5208.51.60.60 (Printcloth) typically refers to a specific type of closely woven plain weave fabric often used for printing, and 5208.51.60.90 (Cheesecloth) is a very loosely woven fabric with a characteristic open mesh. This "Other" category captures printed plain weave cotton sheeting that does not meet the specific construction or weight criteria of these other categories, but still adheres to the overall requirements of being a printed, plain weave cotton fabric under 100 g/m².

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive at this level based on the material (cotton), weave (plain), weight (not more than 100 g/m²), printing status, and the exclusion of specific named fabric types like poplin, printcloth, or cheesecloth. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the fabric construction and printing to ensure accurate classification.
