5407.54.00 - Printed

This category specifically covers woven fabrics composed of synthetic filament yarn, meeting the criteria outlined in heading 5407. Within this, it further refines to include fabrics that contain 85 percent or more by weight of polyester filaments, specifically those that have been textured. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the fabric has undergone printing processes, imparting a pattern or design to the material.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by its printing treatment. Fabrics classified under 5407.51 are unbleached or bleached, indicating they have not yet undergone coloration or printing. Those under 5407.52 are dyed, meaning they have been colored uniformly, but do not necessarily feature printed designs. Similarly, 5407.53 pertains to woven fabrics of yarns of different colors, often referring to woven-in patterns achieved through the use of differently colored yarns, rather than printed designs.

This "Printed" category serves as a broad grouping and is further subdivided based on the fabric's weight per square meter. The subcategories then differentiate between fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m² and those weighing more than 170 g/m². This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff assessment, as weight can impact material characteristics and intended end-uses, thereby influencing duty rates.
