5208.32 - Plain weave, weighing more than 100 g/m²:

This HTS category, 5208.32, specifically covers woven fabrics of cotton that are dyed. These fabrics must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and have a weight exceeding 100 grams per square meter but not exceeding 200 grams per square meter. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its plain weave construction and its weight range.

Distinguishing 5208.32 from its siblings, 5208.31 covers dyed cotton fabrics in a plain weave that weigh *not more than* 100 g/m². In contrast, 5208.33.00.00 is reserved for dyed cotton fabrics of a twill weave (3-thread or 4-thread, including cross twill) within the specified weight range. 5208.39 encompasses other types of dyed cotton fabrics that do not fit the plain weave or twill weave descriptions.

Within the 5208.32.00 category, two subcategories exist: 5208.32.10.00, which specifically designates certified hand-loomed fabrics, and a further "Other" subdivision. This division allows for the distinct classification of artisanal textile production, recognizing its unique characteristics and often separate import/export considerations.
