5209.59.00.15 - Discharge printed (326) 🖩

This classification, 5209.59.00.15, specifically covers woven cotton fabrics that contain at least 85% cotton by weight, and have a finished weight exceeding 200 grams per square meter. Within the broader category of "Printed" fabrics, and further refined to "Other fabrics" and then "Satin weave or twill weave," this particular subcategory focuses on printed sateens. The key characteristic here is the specific printing method employed: discharge printing.

The distinction from its sibling category, 5209.59.00.25 ("Other"), lies precisely in the method of printing. While both are printed sateens weighing over 200 g/m² and composed of 85% or more cotton, this node is reserved for those where the printing process involves discharging a color from a previously dyed fabric. The sibling category would encompass printed sateens utilizing other printing techniques.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 5209.59.00.15 is determined by the fabric meeting the weight and cotton content requirements, exhibiting a sateen weave, and importantly, being produced via discharge printing. Examples would include various home furnishings, apparel, or decorative textiles where this specific printing technique has been applied to a sateen weave of cotton.
