Heading 5901 : Textile fabrics coated with gum or amylaceous substances,of a kind used for the outer covers of books or the like; tracing cloth; prepared painting canvas; buckram and similar stiffened textile fabrics of a kind used for hat foundations.
(1) Textile fabrics coated with gum or amylaceous substances, of a kind used for the outer covers of books or the like.
These are generally plain weave woven fabrics, usually of cotton, linen or man-made fibres, heavily coated with gum or amylaceous substances (e.g., starch), of a kind used in the manufacture of book outer covers, boxes, spectacle or cutlery cases, knife sheaths, etc.
They may be unbleached, bleached, dyed or printed and the surface is often goffered, pleated, shagreened (given a rough surface), embossed or otherwise worked.
Fabrics for similar uses, impregnated or coated with plastics (e.g., imitation leathers) are excluded (heading 59.03). (2) Tracing cloth.
Tracing cloths are fine close woven fabrics, usually of cotton or linen, which have been treated (e.g., with a solution of natural resin) so as to be smooth surfaced and more or less transparent and suitable for tracing by architects, draughtsmen, etc. (3) Prepared painting canvas.
Prepared painting canvas, usually of linen, hemp or cotton, sized and then coated on one surface with a mixture of linseed oil with other substances (e.g., zinc oxide). It is usually in pieces of a size suitable for use stretched on frames, but remains classified here even if backed with wood or cardboard. (4) Buckram and similar stiffened textile fabrics of a kind used for hat foundations.
These are stiffened textile fabrics made by impregnating lightweight open textile fabrics with adhesives and fillers (e.g., with glue or amylaceous substances mixed with kaolin). Certain varieties of buckram or similar fabrics are made by pasting together two such stiffened fabrics. These fabrics are used mainly in the manufacture of the hat foundations of heading 65.07. Fabrics for similar uses, impregnated or coated with plastics, are excluded (heading 59.03).
The heading does not cover the products described in paragraphs (1), (2) and (4) above when made up as described in Part (Ⅱ) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI.
