About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification, HTS Code 5210.51.60.60, specifically covers "Printcloth" that meets precise criteria within the broader category of woven cotton fabrics. These fabrics are characterized by containing less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, with the remainder being primarily man-made fibers. Furthermore, they must weigh no more than 200 g/m². The "Printed" designation signifies that the fabric has undergone a printing process to impart a pattern or design.

Within the "Plain weave" group of printed cotton fabrics weighing not more than 200 g/m², this "Printcloth" designation distinguishes itself from siblings like Poplin or broadcloth (5210.51.60.20), Sheeting (5210.51.60.40), and Cheesecloth (5210.51.60.90) based on weave structure and potential end-use applications implied by the term "printcloth." While the exact thread count or specific weave variations can differentiate these closely related categories, "printcloth" generally refers to fabrics specifically intended and prepared for printing, often with a balanced weave that readily accepts ink.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS 5210.51.60.60. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code rests on the definitive characteristics of being a printed, plain weave fabric of cotton mixed with man-made fibers, weighing not more than 200 g/m², and specifically identified as "Printcloth" based on trade understanding and its suitability for printing applications.
