5208.39.20 - Satin weave or twill weave

This HTS category encompasses dyed woven fabrics of cotton that contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight and do not exceed 200 g/m² in weight. The critical defining characteristic for classification within this specific node is the weave construction. While the parent category broadly defines "Other fabrics" within dyed cottons of this weight, this sub-heading narrows the scope to fabrics that are not satin weave or twill weave.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling involves understanding the excluded weave types. Sibling categories within the "Other fabrics" grouping would typically cover specific weaves like satin or twill, or other distinct constructions. Therefore, this classification is for dyed cotton fabrics of the specified weight and cotton content that exhibit weave structures other than satin or twill.

The subcategories within this node further delineate the classification based on specific weave types or lack thereof. The categories "Sateens" and "Other" allow for a more granular distinction within the broader group of non-satin/non-twill dyed cotton fabrics. This subdivision is crucial for accurate duty assessment, as specific weave types can carry different tariff implications.
