5208.39.40.90 - Other (220)

This HTS subcategory, 5208.39.40.90, captures dyed woven fabrics of cotton that meet specific criteria: they must contain at least 85% cotton by weight, weigh no more than 200 g/m², and be classified under a thread count of 42 or lower. This classification encompasses a broad range of plain, twill, or other weave fabrics where the defining characteristic for this level is the thread count. These are typically lighter weight cotton fabrics suitable for various textile applications.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5208.39.40.20 (Oxford cloth), lies in the specific weave structure and thread count. Oxford cloth, while also dyed and falling within the general parameters of cotton content and weight, has a distinctive basket weave structure and generally a higher thread count than what is considered "number 42 or lower." Therefore, fabrics classified here will possess simpler weaves and a relatively lower density of threads per unit area compared to the more structured Oxford cloth.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the detailed specifications of the fabric, specifically ensuring it meets the "number 42 or lower" thread count criterion in addition to the already established parameters for weight, cotton content, and being dyed. Examples of fabrics that might fall here include certain types of fine muslin, broadcloth, or other plainer woven cotton fabrics that are dyed and have a thread count not exceeding 42.
