5408.24.90.50 - Other (618)

This HTS category, 5408.24.90.50, encompasses printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, specifically those that are not discharge printed. The fabrics classified here must contain 85 percent or more by weight of artificial filament or strip, and also weigh more than 170 grams per square meter. This classification focuses on fabrics where the printing process results in a general colored or patterned effect, excluding those where specific sections have been deliberately bleached or removed to create the design.

The key distinction from its sibling category, 5408.24.90.40, lies in the printing method. While both are printed fabrics, this category covers all other forms of printing that are not discharge printing. This could include techniques such as screen printing, digital printing, rotary printing, or other methods that apply colorants to the surface without removing existing color. The fabrics themselves are constructed from artificial filaments or strips, reinforcing the material composition requirement established at higher levels of the tariff.

As this node represents a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific classification. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes at this level is on the precise determination of the printing method and the weight per square meter to ensure accurate placement within this residual "Other" category for printed fabrics meeting the specified material and weight criteria.
