Overview
This classification pertains to woven fabrics manufactured from artificial filament yarn, specifically those that are "combed" and contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. The term "combed" refers to a specific finishing process applied to the fabric, which typically involves brushing or treating the surface to raise a nap or create a lustrous effect. These fabrics fall under the broader category of printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, where the printing process is a defining characteristic.
The key distinction between this HTS subcategory and its sibling, 5408.34.05.10 ("Not combed"), lies in the finishing treatment of the fabric. While both classifications cover printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn with a significant wool or fine animal hair content, this specific code exclusively covers those that have undergone a combing process, influencing their texture, appearance, and potentially their performance.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. The defining characteristics for classification at this level are therefore the material composition (artificial filament yarn with 36%+ wool/fine animal hair), the manufacturing method (woven), the finishing treatment (combed), and the presence of printing.
