5208.41.80.00 - Of number 69 or higher number (218)

This HTS classification, 5208.41.80.00, pertains to woven fabrics of cotton that are characterized by containing 85 percent or more cotton by weight and weighing no more than 200 g/m². Specifically, this subcategory encompasses fabrics woven from yarns of different colors, exhibiting a plain weave construction, and weighing not more than 100 g/m². The defining criterion for this particular classification is the yarn count, or "number," of the cotton yarns used in the fabric's construction.

This category is distinguished from its siblings, 5208.41.40.00 and 5208.41.60.00, based on the numerical designation of the yarns. While all fall under the umbrella of "Of yarns of different colors: Plain weave, weighing not more than 100 g/m²," this category specifically covers fabrics made from yarns with a number of 69 or higher. In contrast, 5208.41.40.00 applies to fabrics made with yarns numbered 42 or lower, and 5208.41.60.00 covers those made with yarns numbered 43 to 68. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs reporting and tariff assessment.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 5208.41.80.00 is determined solely by the physical characteristics described: 85% or more cotton by weight, a total weight not exceeding 200 g/m², a plain weave construction, a weight not exceeding 100 g/m², yarns of different colors, and a yarn number of 69 or higher. Examples of such fabrics could include lightweight dress fabrics or finer shirting materials produced using multiple colored yarns of a higher count.
