5311.00.30.10 - Sheeting (313)

This HTS category, 5311.00.30.10, specifically classifies sheeting that is woven and composed of vegetable textile fibers. Crucially, it applies to fabrics that contain both cotton and man-made fibers, and are further subject to cotton restraints. This means the fabric's composition and trade regulations are key determinants for classification under this heading. The term "sheeting" generally refers to fabrics used for bed linens, but in this context, it broadly encompasses woven fabrics with a particular weave structure or weight suitable for such use, originating from vegetable fibers.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, it's important to note the specific nature of the goods. While 5311.00.30.05 covers poplin or broadcloth, and 5311.00.30.15 covers printcloth, this subheading (5311.00.30.10) is for sheeting that does not fall under those more specific designations. The broader "Other" category at 5311.00.30.20 would encompass any remaining woven fabrics of vegetable textile fibers containing cotton and man-made fibers subject to cotton restraints that are not specifically sheeting, poplin/broadcloth, or printcloth.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification is finalized at this point based on the fulfilled criteria of being sheeting, woven from vegetable textile fibers, containing cotton and man-made fibers, and being subject to cotton restraints. Importers and exporters must carefully verify the material composition and the applicable trade agreements or quotas to ensure accurate classification.
