5311.00.30.65 - Printcloth (615) 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 5311.00.30.65, specifically classifies woven fabrics that are composed of both cotton and man-made fibers, and which are subject to man-made fiber restraints. The term "Printcloth" is a common designation for such fabrics, often characterized by a plain weave and intended for printing with various designs. These fabrics are derived from vegetable textile fibers and paper yarn, falling under the broader category of woven fabrics of other vegetable textile fibers and paper yarn.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 5311.00.30.55 (Poplin or broadcloth) and 5311.00.30.60 (Sheeting), relies on the specific weave structure and potential end-use, although there can be overlap. While poplin and sheeting typically denote specific constructions and weights, "Printcloth" is a more general term that encompasses a wider range of plain-weave fabrics suitable for printing, provided they meet the material composition and restraint requirements. The sibling category 5311.00.30.70, "Other," serves as a residual classification for woven fabrics of vegetable textile fibers containing cotton and man-made fibers that are subject to man-made fiber restraints but do not fit the more specific definitions of printcloth, poplin, or sheeting.

As 5311.00.30.65 is a leaf node within the HTS database, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification for printcloth under these specific conditions is final at this level. Classification within this subcategory is primarily determined by the presence of both cotton and man-made fibers, the fabric's susceptibility to man-made fiber restraints, and its general description as printcloth, often identified by its plain weave construction and suitability for textile printing applications.
