5212.15.60.20 - Poplin or broadcloth (314)

This HTS category, specifically 5212.15.60.20, encompasses woven cotton fabrics identified as poplin or broadcloth. These fabrics are characterized by their plain weave construction, resulting in a smooth, even surface. They weigh no more than 200 g/m² and are distinguished by being printed.

The distinction between this classification and its siblings lies in the specific fabric type and weave. While other sibling categories might cover sheeting, printcloth, or specialized weaves like satin or twill in their Oxford cloth variants, this node specifically targets the distinct construction and feel of poplin and broadcloth. The emphasis on "poplin or broadcloth" in the description differentiates it from broader "printcloth" categories or those with different weave structures.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges on the confirmation that the printed woven cotton fabric in question meets the physical and construction criteria for poplin or broadcloth, while also adhering to the weight and printing specifications of the parent category. Importers and exporters should verify the fabric's weave structure and printing to ensure accurate classification.
