5514.49.00.40 - Satin weave or twill weave (617)

HTS Code 5514.49.00.40 covers printed woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, not exceeding 85% by weight of such fibers and mixed mainly or solely with cotton. Crucially, these fabrics must exceed 170 grams per square meter in weight and be constructed using a satin or twill weave. The "(617)" designation typically refers to specific weave patterns within the broader satin or twill category, which are key identifiers for accurate classification.

This category is distinct from its siblings primarily due to the specified weave structure. While 5514.49.00.10 (Poplin or broadcloth), 5514.49.00.20 (Sheeting), and 5514.49.00.30 (Duck) classify printed fabrics within the same material and weight parameters based on their respective weaves, 5514.49.00.40 specifically targets fabrics woven in a satin or twill construction. The "Other" category (5514.49.00.90) would encompass any printed fabrics meeting the general criteria but not falling into the poplin, sheeting, duck, or satin/twill weave classifications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the precise identification of the fabric's weave as either satin or twill, alongside confirmation of its composition (synthetic staple fibers mixed with cotton, less than 85% synthetic staple fiber by weight), weight (exceeding 170 g/m²), and the fact that it is printed. This level of detail ensures that distinct fabric types, based on their structural weaving characteristics, are accurately categorized for customs purposes.
