5407.92.20.50 - Satin weave or twill weave (628) 🖩

This HTS category, 5407.92.20.50, specifically classifies other woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that are dyed and are of an "other" weave, excluding those identified as poplin, broadcloth, sheeting, or printcloth. The descriptor "Satin weave or twill weave" further refines this classification, indicating fabrics with characteristic diagonal ribbing (twill) or a smooth, lustrous surface achieved by interlacing warp and weft yarns in a specific pattern (satin). These fabrics are typically used in apparel, home furnishings, and industrial applications where a specific texture and drape are desired.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its exclusion of fabrics falling under the more specific weave types listed in its sibling categories. For instance, while 5407.92.20.20 covers poplin and broadcloth, and 5407.92.20.30 covers sheeting, this category applies to dyed synthetic filament woven fabrics that do not conform to those particular weave structures. Similarly, it is distinct from printcloth (5407.92.20.40), which is often characterized by a finer, plain weave suitable for printing.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, 5407.92.20.50 does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level requires careful examination of the fabric's weave structure to ensure it aligns with the satin or twill description and is not otherwise covered by more specific categories within heading 5407. The absence of specific weave type definitions in the sibling categories necessitates reliance on accepted textile terminology for satin and twill weaves.
