5208.39.60 - Of numbers 43 to 68

This HTS category, 5208.39.60, encompasses dyed woven fabrics of cotton, where cotton constitutes 85 percent or more by weight and the fabric weighs no more than 200 g/m². Specifically, this subcategory applies to such fabrics with a specific thread count, identified by "numbers 43 to 68." These fabrics are characterized by their dyeing process and a moderate weight, making them suitable for a range of textile applications where a specific thread density is a key defining characteristic.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by its precise thread count range. Category 5208.39.40 covers fabrics with a thread count of 42 or lower, while 5208.39.80 applies to fabrics with a thread count of 69 or higher. Therefore, 5208.39.60 is the designated category for dyed cotton woven fabrics falling within a defined middle range of thread density.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the specific type of fabric. The subcategories 5208.39.60.20 for "Oxford cloth" and 5208.39.60.90 for "Other" allow for more granular identification. This means that while meeting the primary criteria of dyed cotton fabric with a specific thread count, the distinction between a recognized weave like Oxford cloth and other weaves within that thread count range dictates the final HTS classification.
