5408.34.90.85 - Discharge printed (629) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5408.34.90.85, specifically covers woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that have undergone discharge printing and fall into the "Other" subcategory of printed woven fabrics. Discharge printing involves a process where a color is removed from a dyed fabric and then replaced with another color or pattern, resulting in distinct designs. These fabrics are typically characterized by their artificial filament composition, their woven construction, and the specific method of printing employed.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 5408.34.90.95, which is also categorized under "Other" printed woven fabrics but does not specify discharge printing. While both fall under the broader umbrella of printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, this particular code is reserved for those where the printing is achieved through the discharge method. It differentiates itself by the technical printing process applied, rather than simply the presence of a printed pattern.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level hinges on confirming the fabric is woven, made from artificial filament yarn, and has been printed using the discharge technique. Examples would include dress materials, linings, or upholstery fabrics where a discharged print is the defining characteristic for classification purposes.
