5208.29.40.90 - Other (220)

This HTS category, 5208.29.40.90, specifically classifies "other" bleached woven fabrics of cotton. These fabrics must contain 85% or more cotton by weight and not exceed 200 g/m². The "other" designation indicates that the fabric does not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the broader category of "other fabrics" at this level. This includes fabrics with characteristics not explicitly defined by other descriptors in the subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5208.29.40.20, is crucial. The sibling specifically covers "Oxford cloth," a distinctive type of plain-weave fabric with a basketweave structure often used for shirts and formal wear. Therefore, 5208.29.40.90 encompasses all other bleached woven cotton fabrics meeting the weight and cotton content criteria that are *not* Oxford cloth, nor any other specifically named fabric type that might exist at this level or higher. The key differentiator is the absence of the specific weave structure or end-use characteristics that define the Oxford cloth classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 5208.29.40.90 relies on the positive identification of the fabric as bleached, woven cotton meeting the specified weight threshold, and the exclusion from any more precisely defined fabric categories at the same or higher classification levels. This often involves a thorough examination of the fabric's construction, weave, and weight to confirm it meets all the general criteria while not falling under any specific exceptions.
