5515.99.90.15 - Poplin or broadcloth (614) 🖩

HTS Code 5515.99.90.15 specifically classifies "Poplin or broadcloth" woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers. These fabrics are characterized by their fine, even weave, typically with a plain weave construction, resulting in a smooth surface and a crisp hand. Poplin and broadcloth are often used in apparel, such as shirts and blouses, due to their durability and refined appearance.

This classification distinguishes poplin or broadcloth from other "Other woven fabrics" within the 5515.99.90 grouping. For instance, it differs from sheeting (5515.99.90.20) which typically refers to fabrics of a coarser construction, and printcloth (5515.99.90.25), which is often lighter weight and designed to accept prints. Similarly, it is distinct from cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes, or duck, each having specific weave patterns, weights, or intended uses.

As a leaf node, HTS 5515.99.90.15 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the primary classification criteria for this code rely on the identification of the fabric as either poplin or broadcloth, based on its weave structure, density, and feel, when made from synthetic staple fibers and not specifically covered by more specific weave descriptions like satin or twill weave within the same chapter.
