5212.13.60.30 - Sheeting (313) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5212.13.60.30, specifically covers sheeting, defined as woven fabrics of cotton that are dyed and weigh not more than 200 g/m². The term "sheeting" in this context refers to plain weave fabrics commonly used for bedding and other household textile applications. These fabrics are characterized by their simple interlacing of warp and weft yarns, creating a flat, even surface.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5212.13.60.30 specifically excludes poplin or broadcloth (5212.13.60.20), which often have a finer weave and denser construction, as well as printcloth (5212.13.60.40) and fabrics like cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, or batistes (5212.13.60.50). While all are dyed woven cotton fabrics under 200 g/m², "sheeting" here denotes a particular type of plain weave fabric with a distinct construction and end-use focus, differentiating it from the more specialized weaves or lighter constructions of its sibling entries. The "Other" designation within this specific sub-branch signifies fabrics that do not fit into the more narrowly defined types of weave or fabric construction found in other sibling categories at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes with the specific identification of "sheeting" within the broader context of dyed, lightweight woven cotton fabrics. Proper classification hinges on verifying that the fabric is indeed of cotton, falls within the specified weight threshold, is dyed, and exhibits the characteristic plain weave construction associated with sheeting.
