5408.32.90.50 - Satin weave or twill weave (628)

This HTS classification pertains to woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, specifically those with a satin weave or a twill weave construction, that have been dyed. These fabrics are characterized by their smooth surface appearance (satin) or diagonal ribbing (twill) resulting from the interlacing pattern of the warp and weft yarns. The artificial filament yarn can be derived from various synthetic or regenerated materials.

This category, 5408.32.90.50, is distinguished from its siblings by the specific weave pattern mentioned. For example, 5408.32.90.20 covers poplin or broadcloth, which typically feature a plain weave with a high thread count. Similarly, 5408.32.90.30 is for sheeting, generally a plain weave fabric known for its durability, and 5408.32.90.40 is for printcloth, often a plain weave with a more open construction suitable for printing. The "Other" categories at this level (like 5408.32.90.90) are for dyed fabrics not falling into the specified weave types.

As a leaf node, this classification has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code rests on the definitive identification of the fabric's construction as a satin or twill weave, and confirmation that the fabric is made from artificial filament yarn and has undergone dyeing. Practical classification will involve examining the fabric's construction and verifying its composition and treatment against the definitional characteristics of satin and twill weaves.
