5407.83.00.30 - Printcloth (626) 🖩

This classification covers "Printcloth," specifically defined as woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic filaments, mixed mainly or solely with cotton. These fabrics are characterized by the use of yarns of different colors woven together, resulting in a colored pattern or design that is typically printed onto the fabric after weaving. The term "printcloth" in this context refers to a specific type of finely woven cotton and synthetic blend fabric, often with a plain weave construction, which serves as a base for printing designs.

Within the sub-heading "Of yarns of different colors" (5407.83), this specific code, 5407.83.00.30, distinguishes printcloth from other types of woven fabrics based on their construction and end-use. For example, it differs from poplin or broadcloth (5407.83.00.10), which are also woven fabrics of different colored yarns but may have a denser weave and different surface characteristics. It also differs from sheeting (5407.83.00.20), which is typically a lighter-weight fabric with a plain weave, and from satin or twill weaves (5407.83.00.40) which utilize different weave structures that create distinct fabric surfaces and drape.

As a leaf node within the HTS, 5407.83.00.30 represents a specific and final classification. Therefore, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this code hinges on the fabric meeting the criteria of being woven from synthetic filament yarn, having a cotton blend composing more than 15% by weight, being woven from yarns of different colors, and specifically fitting the characteristics associated with "printcloth" as commonly understood in the textile trade, often implying a plain weave suitable for printing.
