5407.82.00.40 - Satin weave or twill weave (628)

This HTS category, 5407.82.00.40, specifically classifies dyed woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. These fabrics must contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic filaments, with the remainder being primarily or solely cotton. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the weave structure: satin weave or twill weave. Examples of such fabrics include those with a smooth, lustrous surface (satin weave) or a diagonal ribbed pattern (twill weave), commonly used in apparel, home furnishings, and industrial applications where these specific textural properties are desired.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under "Dyed" woven fabrics containing less than 85% synthetic filament and mixed mainly or solely with cotton, the key differentiator here is the weave. Categories such as 5407.82.00.10 (Poplin or broadcloth), 5407.82.00.20 (Sheeting), and 5407.82.00.30 (Printcloth) are defined by their distinct weave structures (plain weave variations). This category, 5407.82.00.40, is specifically for fabrics exhibiting the characteristics of satin or twill weaves, which differ significantly in their interlacing patterns and resulting surface appearance.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on precisely identifying fabrics that meet the criteria of being dyed, composed of synthetic filament yarn mixed mainly or solely with cotton (less than 85% synthetic filament by weight), and exhibiting a satin or twill weave structure. Accurate identification hinges on the physical examination of the fabric's weave pattern and confirmation of its fiber content.
