This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not classified as poplin/broadcloth structure
Plain weave flax blends not meeting poplin specs go to general 'other' provisions.
If containing wool or fine animal hair
Introduction of wool shifts classification to Chapter 51 woven fabrics.
If >=85% cotton dyed or printed
Cotton becomes chief material, moves to Chapter 52 even with minor flax.
