5513.19.00.20 - Sheeting (613)

This HTS code, 5513.19.00.20, specifically classifies "Sheeting" that falls within the broader category of woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers. These fabrics contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic staple fibers, are mixed mainly or solely with cotton, and do not exceed 170 g/m² in weight. The "unbleached or bleached" condition applies, and within this subgroup, "other woven fabrics" is the specific classification.

The term "Sheeting" in this context refers to fabrics primarily used for the production of bed linens, such as sheets and pillowcases, as well as other household textile articles that share similar weave structures and fabric properties. It is important to distinguish this classification from its siblings. For instance, poplin or broadcloth (5513.19.00.10) and printcloth (5513.19.00.30) have distinct weave structures and are often used for apparel or other purposes. Likewise, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, or batistes (5513.19.00.40) represent lighter, more delicate weaves, while satin weave or twill weave (5513.19.00.50) and Oxford cloth (5513.19.00.60) denote specific, often more complex, weave patterns and typical end-uses that differentiate them from the plain weave or twill weave characteristic of sheeting.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 5513.19.00.20 hinges on the precise physical characteristics of the fabric, its weight, composition, and its intended use as sheeting, differentiating it from the similarly constructed but differently designated woven fabrics listed as siblings. The key is to identify fabrics that are manufactured and marketed for the production of bedding and related household textiles.
