Last updated: August 2026 dataRubberized printers' blankets (5911101000) — offset lithography consumables bonded to a textile substrate — share this heading with technical textile fabrics used in card clothing and similar industrial applications (5911102000). Printers' blankets are a high-value, specification-driven product: the rubber surface layer, compressible underlayer, and woven textile base must meet precise thickness and hardness tolerances set by press manufacturers. The card-clothing fabrics, by contrast, serve textile machinery — specifically the wire-covered rollers that open and align fibers in carding operations — and are typically heavy, densely woven constructions with rubber or leather layers.

Both cut-to-size and roll-form rubberized printers' blankets classify under 5911101000, as the heading covers these articles 'whether or not cut to shape.' The key classification criterion is the product's identity as a printers' blanket — a rubberized textile composite designed for offset lithographic printing — not its physical form at the time of import.
Card-clothing fabric is specifically designed to be mounted on the rollers and flats of textile carding machines; it typically consists of a woven base with layers of rubber, leather, or felt, and is engineered to hold fine wire teeth. Other technical fabrics under 5911102000 serve different industrial functions (filtration, press felts, papermaking felts) but share the characteristic of being purpose-built for machinery rather than for apparel or general furnishing use.
