5513.11.00.60 - Printcloth (615)

This HTS classification, 5513.11.00.60, specifically covers "Printcloth" within the broader category of woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, predominantly polyester, that are either unbleached or bleached. These fabrics contain less than 85% synthetic staple fibers, with cotton being the primary accompanying fiber, and do not exceed a weight of 170 g/m². The term "Printcloth" generally refers to a medium-weight cotton or cotton-blend fabric, often plain woven, which is a common base for printing designs.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, it's important to note the specific fabric types designated under other codes. For instance, 5513.11.00.20 covers "Poplin or broadcloth," which typically exhibit a finer, more uniform weave than printcloth, and 5513.11.00.40 is for "Sheeting," generally characterized by a coarser weave and often used for bedding. Conversely, 5513.11.00.90 encompasses lighter and more open weaves such as cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, and batistes. The "Printcloth" designation focuses on a specific weave structure and intended use that distinguishes it from these other closely related fabric types.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5513.11.00.60 relies on accurately identifying the fabric as "Printcloth" based on its construction, weight, fiber composition, and intended end-use, ensuring it does not fit the descriptions of the more specific sibling categories.
