Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the sheeting is dyed rather than bleached
Dyed fabrics are classified separately from unbleached or bleached fabrics.
If the fabric is cut to size and hemmed for use as a finished quilt backing
Made-up textile articles are classified in Chapter 63, not as woven fabrics.
If the polyester filament content is 85% or more
Higher polyester content would move the fabric to a heading specific to polyester filaments.
