Overview
This HTS classification, 5407.94.05.10, specifically covers woven fabrics manufactured from synthetic filament yarn that are not combed. These fabrics fall within the broader scope of "Other woven fabrics" within heading 5407, indicating they do not meet the criteria for specific weave types or constructions outlined in preceding subheadings. The defining characteristic for this category is the absence of a combing process applied to the synthetic filament yarn used in their construction, which can influence the fabric's texture and appearance.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5407.94.05.20, by the presence or absence of the combing process. While both categories are for printed, woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair, and containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, the yarn treatment is the key differentiator. Fabrics classified under 5407.94.05.10 utilize uncombed synthetic filament yarn, whereas the sibling category refers to fabrics made with combed synthetic filament yarn.
As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. Classification into 5407.94.05.10 hinges on meeting all preceding criteria: the fabric being woven from synthetic filament yarn, being "other" than specified types, being printed, containing a significant proportion of wool or fine animal hair, and crucially, the synthetic filament yarn used not having undergone a combing treatment. Practical classification relies on verifying the absence of the combing process for the synthetic filament yarn component through documentation or material analysis.
