5407.91.20.20 - Poplin or broadcloth (625) 🖩

This classification covers woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic filament yarn, specifically those identified as poplin or broadcloth. These fabrics are characterized by a plain weave structure, with a high thread count and a smooth, crisp hand. Poplin and broadcloth are typically produced with warp yarns finer than weft yarns, contributing to their distinctive appearance and feel. This category excludes fabrics that are dyed, printed, or made up into articles.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, poplin or broadcloth fabrics are specifically defined by their weave structure and resulting aesthetic, differing from sheeting fabrics (5407.91.20.30) which may have a simpler construction for bedding, printcloth (5407.91.20.40) which is typically a lighter weight fabric often intended for printing, and satin or twill weaves (5407.91.20.50) which have distinct diagonal or lustrous surface patterns. The "Other" categories at this level account for woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that do not fit the specific definitions of poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth, or satin/twill weaves.

As a leaf node, 5407.91.20.20 does not have further subdivisions. The classification relies on the precise identification of the fabric as poplin or broadcloth based on its construction, yarn type (synthetic filament), and the absence of further processing such as dyeing or printing. Importers should ensure the fabric's physical characteristics and production method align with the established definitions of poplin or broadcloth to ensure accurate classification.
