Overview
This HTS code, 5311.00.30.60, specifically covers "Sheeting" that falls within the broader category of woven fabrics of other vegetable textile fibers or paper yarn. These fabrics are derived from vegetable textile fibers, excluding cotton, flax, ramie, or hemp, and may also incorporate paper yarn. The "sheeting" designation implies a fabric with a relatively plain weave, often characterized by its smooth, uniform surface and intended for a variety of end-uses where a consistent and often durable textile material is required.
When classifying within the "Other: Containing cotton and man-made fibers: Subject to man-made fiber restraints" branch, it is crucial to distinguish this "Sheeting" classification from its siblings. Unlike "Poplin or broadcloth" (5311.00.30.55), which often implies a specific warp and weft construction and a finer texture, or "Printcloth" (5311.00.30.65), typically designed for printing with a medium weight, this "Sheeting" classification encompasses a wider range of fabrics with a plain weave structure that do not fit those more specific descriptions. The "Other" sibling (5311.00.30.70) serves as a catch-all for fabrics meeting the criteria of this level but not specifically identified as poplin, broadcloth, printcloth, or sheeting.
As 5311.00.30.60 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is final, and the determining factors for inclusion are the fabric's composition (containing cotton and man-made fibers, and subject to man-made fiber restraints), its origin from vegetable textile fibers or paper yarn, and its characteristic "sheeting" construction that distinguishes it from more narrowly defined woven fabric types.
