5408.32.90.40 - Printcloth (626) 🖩

This classification, HTS 5408.32.90.40, specifically covers "Printcloth" when manufactured from artificial filament yarn. Printcloth, in this context, generally refers to plain-woven fabrics of a relatively fine thread count, often designed for printing with various patterns. The key characteristic is its suitability for decorative printing, implying a smooth surface and consistent weave that accepts dyes and inks well.

This category distinguishes itself from its siblings by its specific designation as "Printcloth." While other siblings like Poplin or Broadcloth (5408.32.90.20) and Sheeting (5408.32.90.30) are also plain-woven fabrics, they may have different thread counts or intended end-uses that don't specifically align with the print-ready nature of printcloth. Satin weave or twill weave fabrics (5408.32.90.50) are distinguished by their distinct weave structures, unlike the plain weave typical of printcloth.

As HTS 5408.32.90.40 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Classification within this specific code relies on the precise identification of the fabric as "Printcloth" made from artificial filament yarn, falling under the broader heading of other dyed woven fabrics. When classifying, attention should be paid to the fabric's construction, thread count, and its intended purpose for decorative printing to ensure accurate placement within this specific sub-classification.
