5515.11.00.25 - Printcloth (615) 🖩

This HTS classification covers "Printcloth," which is a type of woven fabric manufactured from synthetic staple fibers. Specifically, it falls under fabrics of polyester staple fibers that are mixed mainly or solely with viscose rayon staple fibers. Printcloth is characterized by its relatively plain weave and is often finished with printing, making it a versatile material for apparel, home furnishings, and other textile applications. The term "printcloth" generally refers to a broad category of plain-woven fabrics suitable for printing.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, it's important to note the specific weave and intended use implied by the term "printcloth." While siblings like "poplin or broadcloth" or "sheeting" also represent plain-weave fabrics, "printcloth" encompasses a broader range of these plain-woven constructions that are specifically designed or finished for printing. Other siblings like "duck" or those identified by "satin weave or twill weave" are distinguished by their distinct weave structures, which are not characteristic of printcloth.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 5515.11.00.25 relies on the explicit identification of the fabric as "printcloth" and confirmation that it meets the material composition requirements of being woven from polyester staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with viscose rayon staple fibers. The presence of printed designs or suitability for printing is a key characteristic to consider when classifying goods under this specific sub-heading.
