Overview

This HTS category, 5208, specifically encompasses woven fabrics composed of cotton, where cotton constitutes 85% or more of the total weight. A key defining characteristic of these fabrics is their weight, which must not exceed 200 grams per square meter (g/m²). This classification is situated within Chapter 52, dedicated to cotton, and falls under Section XI, covering all textile and textile articles.

When classifying within the broader HTS structure, it's important to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike categories focused on live animals (Chapter 01) or other chapters dealing with different materials or finished textile articles, 5208 is exclusively for raw, woven cotton fabric meeting specific composition and weight criteria. The focus is on the fundamental textile structure and material, not on the finished product or other fiber types.

Within HTS 5208, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the fabric's finishing. These subcategories include "Unbleached," "Bleached," "Dyed," "Of yarns of different colors," and "Printed." These distinctions are crucial for customs purposes as they reflect different manufacturing processes and can impact trade regulations and duties.
