5407.81.00.20 - Sheeting (627)

This HTS category, 5407.81.00.20, specifically covers "Sheeting" made from woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. These fabrics are characterized by containing less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic filaments, with cotton being the primary other component. The "Unbleached or bleached" designation signifies that the fabric has undergone no dyeing or printing processes, or it has been subjected to bleaching to remove natural coloration. This classification is relevant for textiles intended for use in bed linens, such as sheets and pillowcases, and other similar sheeting applications where a certain blend of synthetic and cotton fibers is present.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5407.81.00.10, 5407.81.00.30, and 5407.81.00.40, relies on the specific weave structure or common trade name of the fabric. While this entry for "Sheeting" is a broad category for this specific application, "Poplin or broadcloth," "Printcloth," and fabrics with a "Satin weave or twill weave" have distinct construction methods and visual characteristics that place them in their respective sibling subheadings. The residual category, 5407.81.00.90, "Other," would encompass unbleached or bleached woven fabrics meeting the general synthetic filament blend criteria but not specifically identifiable as sheeting, poplin, printcloth, satin, or twill.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 5407.81.00.20 is final for unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, containing less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic filaments mixed mainly or solely with cotton, that are specifically identified or functionally intended as "Sheeting." This would include fabrics typically used for bedding and similar purposes where the weave and composition align with the general description of sheeting.
