5210.21.60.60 - Printcloth (315) 🖩

This HTS category, 5210.21.60.60, specifically classifies "Printcloth" within the broader classification of woven cotton fabrics. Printcloth falls under the group of cotton fabrics that contain less than 85% cotton by weight, are mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, and weigh no more than 200 g/m². Furthermore, it specifically pertains to fabrics that are bleached and woven in a plain weave construction.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the specific type of plain weave fabric. While 5210.21.60.20 covers Poplin or broadcloth, and 5210.21.60.40 covers Sheeting, this category is reserved for "Printcloth." Printcloth is generally understood to be a medium-weight, plain-weave fabric, often produced with a specific yarn count and density suitable for printing patterns. It's important to note that while poplin and broadcloth also exhibit a plain weave, they have distinct characteristics in terms of yarn density and weave structure that differentiate them from the typical construction of printcloth. Sheeting, on the other hand, is typically a lighter weight fabric with a coarser weave.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this HTS code is determined by meeting all the preceding criteria: being a woven fabric containing less than 85% cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, weighing not more than 200 g/m², being bleached, woven in a plain weave, and specifically identified as printcloth. Classification relies on the physical characteristics of the fabric, including its composition, weight, weave type, and processing (bleached).
