Last updated: August 2026 dataPrinted surface decoration applied after weaving places these nylon and polyamide fabrics in a distinct classification from dyed or yarn-colored constructions, and the distinction must be supported by production records at entry. The US schedule splits the heading by weight — 5407440030 for fabrics under 170 g/m² and 5407440060 for heavier goods — reflecting different end-use markets from lightweight lingerie and activewear linings to heavier outerwear shells. China dominates supply, with India and Japan also significant sources; Swiss and Italian printed nylons tend to serve the luxury apparel segment.

Generally yes — if the defining characteristic is a printed design applied to the fabric surface, the fabric classifies as printed regardless of whether the base cloth was also dyed. CBP's classification guidance focuses on the predominant finishing process that gives the fabric its commercial character.
Switzerland is a notable source for high-value digitally and screen-printed nylon fabrics used in luxury fashion and technical applications. Swiss-origin goods are not subject to Section 301 tariffs, which can make them cost-competitive with Chinese supply at the premium end of the market despite higher base prices.
