5208.29.60 - Of numbers 43 to 68

This HTS category, 5208.29.60, encompasses woven fabrics of cotton that meet specific criteria: they must contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight, not exceed 200 g/m², and have been bleached. Crucially, this subcategory is defined by the "number" of yarns used in its construction, specifically those falling within the range of 43 to 68. This numerical criterion refers to the yarn count, a measure of yarn fineness, where a higher number generally indicates a finer yarn.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5208.29.40 covers fabrics with yarn counts of 42 or lower, implying coarser yarns, while 5208.29.80 pertains to fabrics with yarn counts of 69 or higher, indicating finer yarns. Therefore, 5208.29.60 occupies the middle ground in terms of yarn fineness within this group of bleached, other cotton woven fabrics.

Within this classification, two further subdivisions exist to provide more granular detail. The subcategory 5208.29.60.20 specifically identifies "Oxford cloth," a recognized type of woven fabric often characterized by its basketweave structure and medium yarn count range. The remaining fabrics fitting the criteria of 5208.29.60, but not meeting the specific definition of Oxford cloth, are captured under the "Other" subcategory, 5208.29.60.90.
