Overview

This HTS classification, 5309.29.30.60, specifically covers sheeting fabrics made from flax. These fabrics are characterized by a weight composition containing less than 85% flax, with the remaining content primarily being cotton and man-made fibers. The "sheeting" designation refers to a type of plain weave fabric, often used for bed linens, but can also encompass other fabrics with a similar construction and intended end-use. This category is distinct from its siblings which include poplin or broadcloth (5309.29.30.55) and printcloth (5309.29.30.65), as it encompasses a broader range of plain weave constructions beyond these more specific terms.

As a leaf node in the HTS, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 5309.29.30.60 is on accurately identifying fabrics that fit the description of sheeting and meet the stipulated material composition requirements, including the presence of cotton and man-made fibers alongside flax, and being subject to man-made fiber restraints. Importers must ensure that the fabric's weight breakdown and weave structure align with the characteristics of sheeting to avoid misclassification.
