5516.92.00.30 - Printcloth (615) 🖩

This HTS classification covers specific types of printed woven fabrics made from artificial staple fibers, identified by the term "Printcloth." These fabrics are characterized by their printed patterns, distinguishing them from plain dyed fabrics within the same chapter. The classification specifically includes fabrics known as printcloth, which are typically of a finer weave and used for apparel and home furnishings where decorative patterns are a primary feature.

While other siblings within 5516.92.00 classify printed fabrics based on weave structure or specific fabric types (e.g., poplin, sheeting, cheesecloth, satin weave), this particular subheading is designated for a broader category of printcloth not otherwise specified. The distinction lies in the common terminology and perceived end-use of "printcloth" as a general category for printed fabrics, often implying a certain aesthetic or functional application where the print is the defining characteristic.

As a leaf node, 5516.92.00.30 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of a printed woven fabric of artificial staple fibers under this code hinges on it fitting the general description of "Printcloth" and not being more specifically classifiable under a sibling code that defines a particular weave or fabric type (like poplin or sheeting). This allows for the classification of printed artificial staple fiber fabrics that might not fall neatly into more narrowly defined categories.
