5407.74.00 - Printed

This HTS category, 5407.74.00, encompasses woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that are printed. To qualify, these fabrics must contain 85 percent or more by weight of synthetic filaments and be a product of heading 5404. The defining characteristic for classification under 5407.74.00 is the presence of printing on the fabric's surface.

This designation distinguishes these printed fabrics from their siblings. Specifically, 5407.71.00 covers fabrics that are either unbleached or bleached, lacking any coloration or printing. Similarly, 5407.72.00 pertains to dyed fabrics, where the color is imparted to the yarn or fabric uniformly, without a printed pattern. The sibling category 5407.73.00 is reserved for woven fabrics constructed from yarns of different colors, creating a patterned effect through the weave itself rather than through an applied print.

Further subdivision within this category is based on the weight of the fabric. Subcategories 5407.74.00.15 and 5407.74.00.60 differentiate between printed woven fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m² and those weighing more than 170 g/m², respectively. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application, as weight per unit area is a common factor in determining customs duties and potential trade restrictions.
