5208.22.80 - Of number 69 or higher number

This classification pertains to bleached woven fabrics of cotton, specifically those weighing more than 100 g/m² and woven in a plain weave. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its yarn count, which must be of number 69 or higher. This measure indicates a finer thread than the preceding sibling categories, suggesting a denser or more tightly woven fabric.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings, 5208.22.40 and 5208.22.60. Those categories cover plain weave, bleached cotton fabrics with yarn counts of 42 or lower, and between 43 and 68, respectively. Therefore, this specific classification captures the finer yarns within the broader scope of plain weave, bleached cotton fabrics exceeding 100 g/m².

Within this category, further distinctions are made based on the fabric's construction and intended use. Subcategories include poplin or broadcloth, which typically exhibit a distinct fine ribbing due to the warp yarns being twice the count of the weft yarns, and cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, or batistes. These latter types often represent very light and sheer constructions, further detailing the specific types of fine-count plain weave fabrics that fall under this heading.
