5201.00.38.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 5201.00.38.00, covers cotton that has not been carded or combed and falls within a specific staple length range. Specifically, it applies to raw cotton fibers with a staple length of 28.575 millimeters (1-1/8 inches) or more, but less than 34.925 millimeters (1-3/8 inches). This category is designated as "Other," meaning it encompasses raw cotton within this staple length that does not meet the criteria for any other specific subheadings at this level.

The key differentiator for this classification is the defined staple length. It distinguishes itself from sibling categories by exclusion. For instance, 5201.00.34.00 is reserved for cotton meeting specific conditions outlined in additional U.S. note 7 to Chapter 52. Therefore, 5201.00.38.00 applies to all other raw cotton within the 28.575 mm to less than 34.925 mm staple length range that does not qualify for specialized provisions.

As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. All raw cotton meeting the uncarded/uncombed and staple length criteria (28.575 mm or more, but under 34.925 mm) that is not specifically provided for in other subheadings of 5201.00.38 will fall under this "Other" designation. This ensures that all eligible raw cotton within this specific staple length range is appropriately accounted for in customs declarations.
