Polyester Satin Dress Lining Fabric from China
A woven fabric made from artificial polyester filament yarns of different colors in a satin weave, typically used as lining for dresses and skirts. It falls under HTS 5408.33.90.50 due to its satin weave construction, multi-colored yarns, and classification as other woven fabrics of artificial filaments not specified elsewhere. The smooth, lustrous surface provides a slippery finish ideal for garment linings.

Import Tips
• Verify yarn composition via lab testing to confirm artificial filament content over 85%; ensure weave documentation matches satin/twill per statistical note (a)
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as plain weave, leading to different headings
