5407.84.00.40 - Satin weave or twill weave (628) 🖩

This HTS category, 5407.84.00.40, specifically covers printed woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that contain less than 85 percent by weight of synthetic filaments, mixed mainly or solely with cotton. The defining characteristic of this classification is the weave type: satin weave or twill weave. These weaves create distinct fabric surfaces. Satin weave, for example, results in a smooth, lustrous surface due to long floats, while twill weave produces diagonal lines.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings based on the weave. For instance, 5407.84.00.10 pertains to poplin or broadcloth weaves, 5407.84.00.20 to sheeting weaves, and 5407.84.00.30 to printcloth weaves. While all these are printed woven fabrics of synthetic filament and cotton, the specific structural arrangement of the warp and weft yarns in a satin or twill weave is what designates a fabric for classification under 5407.84.00.40. The catch-all "Other" category (5407.84.00.90) would apply if the printed woven fabric does not fit any of the specified weave types.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for accurate classification rests on confirming the fabric's composition (less than 85% synthetic filament, mainly or solely with cotton), its printed status, and the presence of a satin or twill weave structure. Practical considerations for classification would include examining the fabric's surface characteristics to identify the weave pattern and verifying the fiber content through laboratory analysis if necessary.
