Printed Polyester Satin Drapery Fabric from China
This is a printed satin weave fabric made from 100% polyester staple fibers, containing over 85% artificial staple fibers by weight, used primarily for window draperies and curtains. It falls under HTS 5516.14.00.30 due to its satin weave construction, high artificial staple fiber content, and printed surface, distinguishing it from plain or other weave types in Chapter 55. The fabric meets the 'other' category within printed satin/twill weaves as specified in statistical note 611.
