5208.42.40.00 - Of numbers 43 to 68 (218) 🖩

This HTS category, 5208.42.40.00, classifies woven fabrics of cotton that contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and weigh no more than 200 g/m². Specifically, it pertains to fabrics woven using yarns of different colors, which are of a plain weave construction and have a weight exceeding 100 g/m². The distinguishing characteristic of this "Other" subcategory is that it encompasses fabrics where the yarn count falls within a specific numerical range, defined as numbers 43 through 68.

This category is differentiated from its siblings based on the numerical designation of the yarns used. HTS 5208.42.30.00 covers fabrics made with yarns of number 42 or lower, while HTS 5208.42.50.00 includes fabrics utilizing yarns of number 69 or higher. Therefore, the primary classification determinant at this level is the specific yarn count, which directly impacts the fineness and density of the resulting woven fabric.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 5208.42.40.00. Classification within this category is therefore final and relies on meeting all preceding criteria: being a woven fabric of cotton (85%+ cotton by weight), weighing not more than 200 g/m², utilizing yarns of different colors, being a plain weave, weighing more than 100 g/m², and specifically using yarns numbered between 43 and 68 inclusive. Examples of such fabrics might include certain types of colored chambray or fine twill weaves used in apparel and home furnishings where a mid-range yarn fineness is employed.
