5407.81.00.30 - Printcloth (626) 🖩

This HTS category, 5407.81.00.30, specifically covers "Printcloth" when it meets the criteria of being a woven fabric of synthetic filament yarn, containing less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic filaments, primarily mixed with cotton, and is either unbleached or bleached. Printcloth, in this context, generally refers to a plain-weave cotton fabric often used as a base for printing designs, but the classification here broadens this to include similar fabrics where synthetic filaments are the primary component in terms of weight, but still below the 85% threshold. The fabric must be in its unbleached or bleached state.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5407.81.00.30 focuses on printcloth. Other sibling categories at this level, such as poplin or broadcloth (5407.81.00.10), sheeting (5407.81.00.20), and satin or twill weave fabrics (5407.81.00.40), are differentiated by their specific weave structures and common trade names. The "Other" category (5407.81.00.90) serves as a residual for fabrics meeting the general criteria but not fitting into the more specific weave types or named cloths.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 5407.81.00.30. Therefore, classification at this level is determined by the precise definition of "Printcloth" within the specified material composition and processing state. Importers and exporters should ensure that the fabric's weight composition, weave, and finishing (unbleached or bleached) align strictly with the characteristics of printcloth to ensure correct classification.
