5208.59.20.85 - Discharge printed (317) 🖩

This classification covers cotton woven fabrics, weighing no more than 200 g/m², and containing at least 85% cotton by weight, that have been printed with a discharge printing process. Discharge printing involves chemically removing color from dyed fabric to create a pattern, resulting in a crisp and often opaque design. The fabric itself is of a satin or twill weave, excluding specific 3-thread or 4-thread twill or cross twill constructions.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 5208.59.20.95 "Other," by the explicit mention of "Discharge printed." While the "Other" category would encompass printed cotton fabrics not specifically defined by the discharge printing method or other specific weave types at this level, this node precisely identifies those featuring the discharge printing technique.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level should focus on verifying the presence of discharge printing, the cotton content, weight limits, and the specific weave construction to ensure accurate classification.
