5407.94 - Printed:

This HTS category, 5407.94, encompasses woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic filament yarn that have been printed. It falls under the broader classification of "Other woven fabrics" within Chapter 54, which deals with man-made filaments and their woven products. The defining characteristic of fabrics classified here is the application of a printed design or pattern onto the fabric surface, distinguishing them from those that are unbleached, bleached, dyed, or made from yarns of different colors.

The distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While 5407.91 covers unbleached or bleached fabrics, and 5407.92 and 5407.93 relate to dyed fabrics or those composed of yarns of differing colors respectively, this category (5407.94) is specifically for fabrics where a print has been applied, regardless of whether the base fabric was dyed or not prior to printing. The printing process creates a distinct visual and often textural characteristic that sets these fabrics apart.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the composition of the fabric. The subcategories will typically detail whether the fabric is mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair, or if it falls into a general "other" category. This level of detail allows for more precise tariff application based on the specific blend of materials present in the printed woven fabric.
