Overview
This classification covers sheeting made from woven flax, where the fabric contains less than 85 percent by weight of flax. Specifically, it applies to sheeting that falls under the broader "Other" subcategory within woven fabrics of flax not primarily composed of flax. The key characteristic here is the presence of both cotton and man-made fibers in addition to flax, and these fabrics are subject to cotton restraints, indicating a specific regulatory consideration for imports.
Within this group, "sheeting" differentiates from other woven fabrics of flax by its intended use and often by its weave structure, which is typically designed for bedding applications. Unlike poplin or broadcloth, which might have a finer, smoother finish and a distinct rib, or printcloth, which is often a plain weave designed for printing, this category encompasses a broader range of sheeting constructions. The term "sheeting" itself generally refers to a fabric that is durable, breathable, and comfortable for use as bed linen.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this specific code is determined by the material composition (less than 85% flax, containing cotton and man-made fibers) and its susceptibility to cotton restraints, combined with its primary function as sheeting. Importers must ensure that the fabric's construction and composition meet the criteria to be classified under this specific "sheeting" designation, as opposed to other "Other" categories within the broader woven flax fabric classifications.
