5208.39 - Other fabrics:

This HTS subheading, 5208.39, encompasses "Other fabrics" of cotton that are dyed and meet the primary criteria of containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and weighing not more than 200 g/m². This category serves as a residual for dyed woven cotton fabrics that do not fall under more specific weave types like plain weave or specific twill structures at the same hierarchical level.

To differentiate, 5208.39 distinguishes itself from its siblings by excluding fabrics classified under 5208.31 (plain weave, weighing not more than 100 g/m²), 5208.32 (plain weave, weighing more than 100 g/m²), and 5208.33.00.00 (3-thread or 4-thread twill, including cross twill). Therefore, this category is for dyed woven cotton fabrics weighing not more than 200 g/m² that are not plain weave or specific twill weaves.

The subcategories within 5208.39 further refine the classification based on specific weave structures. These subdivisions are designed to account for other common woven patterns not already enumerated, such as satin weave or twill weave variations not covered by sibling categories. The "Other" category within this level is for any dyed woven cotton fabric meeting the overarching criteria that does not fit into the more precisely defined weave subcategories.
