These fabrics are characterized by containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m², and being of a plain weave weighing more than 100 g/m². The "of numbers 43 to 68" refers to a specific textile numbering system that relates to the yarn count or fineness of the threads used in the fabric's construction.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by the specific range of yarn numbers it covers. HTS 5208.32.30 covers fabrics with yarn numbers 42 or lower, while HTS 5208.32.50 covers those with yarn numbers 69 or higher. Therefore, 5208.32.40 acts as an intermediate category for fabrics falling within a defined middle range of yarn fineness.

The subcategories within 5208.32.40 further refine the classification based on the specific weave structure or end-use of these dyed cotton fabrics. These include specific fabric types like poplin or broadcloth, sheeting, printcloth, and cheesecloth. This granular breakdown allows for precise identification and duty assessment based on the particular construction and intended application of the textile article.
