5515.19.00.15 - Poplin or broadcloth (614)

This HTS category, 5515.19.00.15, specifically classifies poplin and broadcloth woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers. These fabrics are characterized by their plain weave construction, often resulting in a smooth, crisp finish. Poplin and broadcloth are distinguished by their relatively high warp yarn count compared to their weft yarn count, contributing to their characteristic sheen and drape.

To differentiate this classification from its siblings, it's important to note that while all fall under "Other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers: Of polyester staple fibers: Other: Other," 5515.19.00.15 is dedicated to the specific weaves of poplin and broadcloth. For example, sibling categories classify sheeting, printcloth, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, duck, and fabrics identified by specific weave structures like satin or twill. The selection of poplin or broadcloth as the defining characteristic for this code sets it apart from those categories that prioritize different fabric types or weave patterns.

As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 5515.19.00.15 is final for poplin or broadcloth woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, particularly those derived from polyester, meeting the specified weave characteristics. When classifying, ensure the fabric's construction aligns with the recognized definitions of poplin and broadcloth to correctly apply this HTS code.
