Overview
This HTS category, 5212.25.60.30, specifically classifies "Sheeting" made from cotton that falls within the broader group of other woven cotton fabrics weighing more than 200 g/m² and which are printed. The term "sheeting" in this context generally refers to woven fabrics characterized by a plain weave construction, often with a relatively balanced warp and weft count, and typically used for bed linens and similar household textile applications.
It is important to distinguish this classification from its siblings. For instance, 5212.25.60.20 covers "Poplin or broadcloth," which are also plain weave fabrics but often have a finer yarn and a higher thread count, giving them a smoother finish. Similarly, 5212.25.60.40 covers "Duck," which is a strong, plain weave fabric with a high warp density and a distinctive firm hand, often used for more utilitarian purposes like canvas. The "Other" designation for this sheeting category implies that it does not precisely fit the definitions of poplin, broadcloth, or duck, but is still a printed, heavier woven cotton fabric.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5212.25.60.30 relies on identifying printed woven cotton fabrics that meet the weight and weave criteria but do not qualify for more specific sibling descriptions like poplin, broadcloth, or duck, and are not categorized under satin or twill weaves as specified in 5212.25.60.90. The key classification criteria are the material (cotton), weave construction (woven, but not specifically satin or twill), weight (over 200 g/m²), printing (printed), and the intended use or characteristic appearance of sheeting.
