Overview

This HTS classification, 5212.15.60.50, specifically covers printed woven fabrics of cotton that weigh no more than 200 g/m². Within the broader category of "Other woven fabrics of cotton," this subcategory is distinguished by the printing of its pattern, as opposed to other finishes or weaves. The descriptor "Cheesecloth; lawns, voiles or batistes" indicates a range of lightweight, finely woven cotton fabrics that, when printed and meeting the weight criteria, fall under this code.

It's important to differentiate this category from its siblings. For example, while 5212.15.60.20 covers printed poplin or broadcloth, and 5212.15.60.30 encompasses printed sheeting, this code specifically targets printed cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, and batistes. Similarly, it is distinct from printed printcloth (5212.15.60.40) and Oxford cloth (5212.15.60.80), which are defined by their specific weave structures.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 5212.15.60.50. Therefore, classification relies on accurately identifying the fabric as a printed lightweight cotton weave (cheesecloth, lawn, voile, or batiste) that adheres to the weight restriction of not exceeding 200 g/m². The textile's fineness, openness of weave (particularly for cheesecloth), and the presence of a printed design are key determinants for proper classification.
