5513.29.00.30 - Printcloth (615)

This HTS classification, 5513.29.00.30, specifically covers "Printcloth" within the broader category of dyed woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, and not exceeding 170 g/m² in weight. Printcloth, in this context, refers to a plain weave fabric that is typically finished with a print design. The defining characteristics are its woven structure utilizing synthetic staple fibers, a significant cotton blend, a relatively lightweight construction, and its dyed state, ready for printing.

The distinction between this classification and its siblings lies primarily in the fabric's weave and its intended finishing. While categories like poplin or broadcloth (5513.29.00.10) and sheeting (5513.29.00.20) also fall under dyed woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers and cotton, they often denote specific weave structures or common end-uses for unfinished goods. Similarly, satin weave or twill weave fabrics (5513.29.00.50) are differentiated by their distinct weaving patterns. Printcloth, as classified here, is specifically identified by its plain weave suitable for printing, distinguishing it from fabrics with different weaves or those not primarily intended for printing applications.

As a leaf node, 5513.29.00.30 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes within this code remains on confirming that the fabric meets all the criteria of the parent categories: composed of synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with cotton, weighing no more than 170 g/m², dyed, and of a plain weave specifically designated as "printcloth." The "Printcloth (615)" designation within the description serves as a key identifier, referencing established nomenclature for this type of textile.
