Overview
This HTS category, 5515.21.00.30, specifically classifies "Printcloth" within the broader group of other woven fabrics composed of synthetic staple fibers. These fabrics are characterized by their construction, typically a plain weave, and are specifically made from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers that are either mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. The term "printcloth" generally refers to a lightweight, closely woven fabric suitable for printing, often used in apparel and home furnishings.
Distinguishing this classification from its siblings involves understanding their specific weave structures or intended uses. For instance, 5515.21.00.10 covers poplin or broadcloth, which have distinct warp and weft yarn relationships. Sheeting (5515.21.00.20) typically refers to fabrics with a plain weave but often of a coarser construction than printcloth, and satin weave or twill weave fabrics (5515.21.00.40) are identified by their characteristic diagonal ribbing. The "Other" category (5515.21.00.90) serves as a residual classification for fabrics within this group that do not fit the more specific descriptions.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is determined by meeting all the preceding criteria: being a woven fabric of synthetic staple fibers, specifically of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers mixed with man-made filaments, and fitting the specific description of "Printcloth" based on its construction and intended application for printing.
