5208.52.40.35 - Discharge printed (313) 🖩

This classification, HTS 5208.52.40.35, specifically identifies discharge printed woven fabrics of cotton. These fabrics must contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight and weigh no more than 200 g/m². The "discharge printed" designation refers to a printing technique where a design is created by removing dye from a previously dyed fabric, resulting in a lighter or white pattern on a colored ground. This method is distinct from other printing techniques and is a key determinant for classification within this specific code.

Within the "Other" category under "Plain weave, weighing more than 100 g/m²," this HTS code serves as a precise terminal point for discharge printed sheeting. It differentiates itself from its sibling category, 5208.52.40.45 ("Other"), by the specific printing method employed. While both fall under the broader "Other" designation for printed plain weave sheeting exceeding 100 g/m², the inclusion of "discharge printed" signifies a particular manufacturing process that sets it apart for accurate customs reporting.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification at this level is final. Examples of goods falling under this code would include bed linens, duvet covers, or other sheeting materials where the patterned design has been achieved through the discharge printing method on cotton fabric meeting the specified weight and cotton content criteria.
