5515.91.00.30 - Printcloth (626) 🖩

This category, HTS 5515.91.00.30, specifically classifies "Printcloth" woven from synthetic staple fibers. Printcloth, in this context, refers to plain-woven fabrics that are typically light to medium weight and often used for apparel, linings, and home furnishings. The key defining characteristic is its plain weave construction and its suitability for printing with designs.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, HTS 5515.91.00.10 covers Poplin or Broadcloth, which are also plain weaves but often have a finer thread count and a smoother finish. HTS 5515.91.00.20 classifies Sheeting, which are generally heavier and used for bedding. HTS 5515.91.00.40 is for fabrics with a Satin or Twill weave, which have distinct diagonal or lustrous appearances due to their weave structure, differing from the simple interlacing of a printcloth. HTS 5515.91.00.90 serves as a residual category for other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers that do not fit the more specific descriptions.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on correctly identifying fabrics based on their construction as plain weave, their weight and intended use as printcloth, and their composition of synthetic staple fibers, ensuring they are not specifically classifiable under the more narrowly defined categories like poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, or those with satin or twill weaves. The common attribute across all siblings under 5515.91 is that they are other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments.
