5208.29.20.90 - Other (317) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5208.29.20.90, encompasses woven fabrics of cotton that meet specific weight and cotton content criteria. The fabric must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and not exceed 200 grams per square meter. Crucially, these fabrics have been bleached and are not specifically categorized as sateens. This category represents a residual classification for bleached cotton fabrics with a satin or twill weave, excluding the more specific "sateens" subheading.

The distinguishing factor for this classification lies in its exclusion of sateen weaves, which would be classified under 5208.29.20.20. While both fall under bleached woven cotton fabrics of a satin or twill weave, the "Other" designation signifies fabrics that do not possess the characteristic diagonal ribbing of a sateen weave, or other specific weave patterns not explicitly enumerated elsewhere at this level. This residual classification ensures that all eligible bleached cotton fabrics are accounted for within the HTS system.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for practical classification relies on confirming that the fabric is indeed bleached, is woven from cotton comprising at least 85% of its weight, does not exceed 200 g/m², and exhibits a satin or twill weave that is not specifically classified as a sateen. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the weave structure and ensure all other criteria are met to accurately apply this designation.
