5407.83.00.10 - Poplin or broadcloth (625)

This category, HTS 5407.83.00.10, specifically classifies "Poplin or broadcloth" fabrics. These are woven fabrics primarily composed of synthetic filament yarn, but containing less than 85% by weight of synthetic filaments, with cotton being the main or sole component in the remaining mixture. The defining characteristic of poplin and broadcloth within this classification is their distinct weave structure, which typically results in a fine, even surface with a slight lengthwise rib.

Distinguishing poplin or broadcloth from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn with cotton mixtures and are of yarns of different colors, poplin/broadcloth is differentiated by its specific weave construction. For example, "Sheeting" (5407.83.00.20) might refer to broader, less finely woven fabrics used for bed linens, while "Printcloth" (5407.83.00.30) usually denotes a plainer, less dense weave, often designed for printing. "Satin weave or twill weave" (5407.83.00.40) would cover fabrics with those particular, more complex weave patterns, contrasting with the characteristic ribbed surface of poplin/broadcloth.

As HTS 5407.83.00.10 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code relies on the precise identification of the fabric's construction as poplin or broadcloth, meeting all the preceding criteria of synthetic filament yarn content, cotton mixture, and differing yarn colors. Examples of goods that would fall here include dress shirts, shirting materials, and other apparel where the distinct poplin or broadcloth weave is a primary identifying feature.
