Overview
This HTS category, 5210.51.80.90, specifically classifies printed, plain weave cotton fabrics that contain less than 85% cotton by weight, are mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibers, and weigh not more than 200 g/m². The "cheesecloth; lawns, voiles or batistes" designation highlights the specific types of weaves and constructions that fall within this designation, emphasizing their often lightweight and fine texture. These are distinct from other fabric types that might share similar weight and fiber composition but possess different weave structures or are not printed.
The key distinguishing factor for this category is the combination of being printed, having a plain weave construction, and fitting the criteria for cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, or batistes. Unlike its sibling category, 5210.51.80.20, which covers poplin or broadcloth (typically a more robust weave), this category focuses on lighter, more delicate plain weaves. The "printed" aspect is crucial, indicating that a design or pattern has been applied to the fabric’s surface.
As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions at this level rely on a thorough understanding of the fabric's weave (plain weave), its printed status, its fiber content (less than 85% cotton, mixed with man-made fibers), weight (not exceeding 200 g/m²), and its specific construction consistent with cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, or batistes.
