5208.19.80 - Of number 69 or higher number

This classification, HTS Code 5208.19.80, encompasses unbleached woven cotton fabrics that meet specific criteria regarding their fineness and weave. These fabrics contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, weigh no more than 200 g/m², and are unbleached. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that they are of "number 69 or higher number," indicating a finer thread count than the sibling categories.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by the yarn count or "number" of the cotton threads used. Specifically, HTS 5208.19.40 covers fabrics made with yarns of number 42 or lower, while HTS 5208.19.60 applies to yarns numbered from 43 to 68. Therefore, HTS 5208.19.80 is for the finest unbleached woven cotton fabrics within this group, where the yarn number is 69 or greater.

The subcategories within HTS 5208.19.80 further refine the classification based on specific fabric types and general "other" classifications. HTS 5208.19.80.20 specifically designates Oxford cloth, a distinct weave pattern. The remaining fabrics falling under this fine thread count, unbleached category are classified under HTS 5208.19.80.90 as "Other," encompassing a range of unbleached woven cotton fabrics meeting the specified yarn number and weight requirements but not fitting the Oxford cloth designation.
