Nylon Typewriter Ribbon Fabric
This unbleached woven nylon fabric features both selvages woven and meets precise thread count specifications (59-83 warp, 39-55 filling per cm) with average decitex 28-83, making it ideal for typewriter ribbons. It contains 85% or more nylon filaments and is classified under HTS 5407.41.00.10 due to its specialized construction for machine ribbon production. The fabric's high thread density and warp-filling ratio ensure durability in impact printing applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If selvages are cut rather than woven
Fabrics without woven selvages fall under the residual 'other' subheading in 5407.41, excluding the specific 621 statistical suffix.
If containing less than 85% nylon filaments
Lower polyamide content shifts classification to mixed synthetic filament fabrics under 5407.52, regardless of thread specs.
If coated, covered, or laminated with plastics
Post-woven treatments like PVC coating for ribbon durability move it to Chapter 59 as textile fabrics coated with plastics.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact thread count and decitex measurements via lab testing to confirm classification under 5407.41.00.10; deviations may shift to general 5407.41
• Provide mill certificates proving 85%+ nylon content and unbleached/bleached status to avoid reclassification
• Ensure selvages are documented as woven, not cut, in commercial invoices to prevent customs disputes
