About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification covers "Printcloth," specifically defined as woven fabrics made from polyester staple fibers that are mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. The term "printcloth" generally refers to a medium-weight, plain-weave fabric known for its suitability for printing designs. The key characteristic for inclusion here is the fabric's composition, originating from staple polyester fibers blended with other man-made filament yarns, and its broad applicability as a base fabric for printing.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike 5515.12.00.10, which specifically denotes "Poplin or broadcloth," or 5515.12.00.40, which covers "Satin weave or twill weave," this "Printcloth" category encompasses a broader range of fabrics that may not conform to those specific weave structures but share the same material composition and are intended for printing. The residual category, 5515.12.00.90, serves as a catch-all for other woven fabrics of polyester staple fibers mixed with man-made filaments not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories to introduce. Classification within 5515.12.00.30 is determined by the fabric's construction and its primary intended use as a printable material, derived from the specified blend of polyester staple fibers and man-made filaments, and not fitting into more specific weave or type descriptions within the same parent heading.
