5515.29.00.15 - Poplin or broadcloth (614)

This HTS category, 5515.29.00.15, specifically classifies other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, where the fibers are of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, and are not further specified in more granular subheadings. The description "Poplin or broadcloth (614)" indicates that fabrics with these specific weave structures and characteristics, when composed of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, fall under this designation. These fabrics are typically characterized by a plain weave, a high thread count, and a smooth, crisp finish.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it is important to note the specific weave patterns and fabric types covered by other codes at the same level. For example, sheeting (5515.29.00.20) will typically have a different construction or intended use, while printcloth (5515.29.00.25) is often designed for printing with specific designs. Similarly, categories for cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes (5515.29.00.30), duck (5515.29.00.35), and fabrics with a satin weave or twill weave (5515.29.00.40) cover distinct fabric constructions and therefore fall under separate classifications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into 5515.29.00.15 relies on accurately identifying the material composition (acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers) and confirming that the fabric's structure and characteristics align with the definition of poplin or broadcloth, and that it is not specifically covered by any other, more precise sibling classification.
