5407.94.20.20 - Poplin or broadcloth (625)

This category encompasses woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn that are not specifically described by other subheadings within heading 5407. These fabrics are characterized by their construction, being printed and falling under the "Other" designation for both weave type and specific fabric construction. The term "poplin or broadcloth" within the description refers to a plain weave construction with a high thread count, creating a smooth, fine, and lustrous surface. Such fabrics are typically created with a warp of finer yarns and a heavier weft yarn, contributing to their characteristic drape and hand.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all are woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and are printed, 5407.94.20.20 specifically identifies "Poplin or broadcloth" weaves. This contrasts with sibling categories such as "Sheeting" (5407.94.20.30), which typically refers to plainer, often coarser weaves used for bedding, or "Printcloth" (5407.94.20.40), which generally denotes a medium-weight plain weave fabric. Categories like "Satin weave or twill weave" (5407.94.20.50) are differentiated by their distinct weave structures that create characteristic diagonal lines or a lustrous surface, respectively, unlike the plain weave of poplin or broadcloth.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this subheading is therefore determined by the specific characteristics of the printed woven fabric of synthetic filament yarn. Key considerations for correct classification will include verifying the synthetic filament yarn content, confirming the printed nature of the fabric, and ensuring the weave construction aligns with the definition of poplin or broadcloth, as opposed to other plain weaves or distinct weave types. Examples of goods that may fall under this classification include printed synthetic fabrics with a fine, smooth surface and a high thread count, often used in apparel or home furnishings where a particular drape and finish are desired.
