Overview
This HTS classification, 5407.94.05.20, specifically covers woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that are printed and primarily composed of wool or fine animal hair. The defining characteristic here is that these fabrics are "Combed," indicating that the wool or fine animal hair component has undergone a combing process to remove shorter fibers and align the longer ones, resulting in a smoother, finer, and more lustrous fabric. These fabrics are classified under "Other woven fabrics" which are printed, and then further refined by the specific weight percentage of wool or fine animal hair.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5407.94.05.10, by the specific processing of the wool or fine animal hair. While both are printed woven fabrics containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, the "Combed" designation signifies a higher degree of refinement in the wool or fine animal hair component, leading to distinct textural and aesthetic qualities. The "not combed" sibling would encompass fabrics where the wool or fine animal hair has not undergone this specialized treatment.
As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes rests on ensuring the fabric meets all preceding criteria: it is a woven fabric of synthetic filament yarn, it is printed, it is mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair, and it contains 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, with the wool or fine animal hair component being specifically "combed."
