5407.42.00 - Dyed

This HTS category, 5407.42.00, specifically covers woven fabrics composed of synthetic filaments, primarily nylon or other polyamides, where these filaments constitute 85 percent or more of the total weight. The defining characteristic of this classification is that the fabric has been dyed to a uniform color. This includes fabrics where the dyeing process is applied after weaving.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories by its method of coloring. While 5407.41.00 covers unbleached or bleached fabrics and 5407.44.00 pertains to printed fabrics, 5407.42.00 focuses exclusively on those dyed to a singular hue. Additionally, it differs from 5407.43.00, which classifies woven fabrics made from yarns of different colors, creating a striped or multi-colored effect within the fabric itself.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist based on the fabric's weight per square meter. The subcategories, 5407.42.00.30 and 5407.42.00.60, differentiate between fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m² and those weighing more than 170 g/m², respectively. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification and potentially for determining import duties or statistical reporting requirements.
