5407.84.00.30 - Printcloth (626)

This HTS category, 5407.84.00.30, specifically covers printed woven fabrics made from synthetic filament yarn, where the fabric contains less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic filaments and is mixed mainly or solely with cotton. These fabrics are characterized by the presence of printed designs or patterns applied to the textile surface. The term "printcloth" refers to fabrics that are specifically manufactured for printing purposes, often with a plain weave and a relatively lightweight construction, making them amenable to various printing techniques.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, while 5407.84.00.10 covers poplin or broadcloth, these are specific weave structures that may or may not be printed. Similarly, 5407.84.00.20 pertains to sheeting, typically a plain weave fabric used for bedding, regardless of whether it is printed or not. The category 5407.84.00.40 addresses satin weave or twill weave fabrics, which are defined by their distinct weave patterns, while 5407.84.00.90 serves as a residual category for other printed woven fabrics meeting the general criteria of heading 5407.84.00.

As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this specific code therefore relies heavily on the definitive characteristics of the fabric being printed and its fiber content (less than 85% synthetic filament, mixed mainly or solely with cotton), in conjunction with its woven construction from synthetic filament yarn. Examples of such goods would include printed lightweight cotton-synthetic blend fabrics intended for apparel, home furnishings, or other textile applications where a printed design is a key feature.
