Discharge Printed Cotton Satin Scarf Fabric from China
This lightweight woven cotton fabric, over 85% cotton and under 200 g/m², features discharge printing on a satin weave base, creating a soft, lustrous texture ideal for scarves. It falls under HTS 5208.59.20.85 due to its high cotton content, printed satin weave (not 3- or 4-thread twill), and specific discharge printing technique that removes dye for unique patterns.
