5208.42.50.00 - Of number 69 or higher number (218) 🖩

This HTS category, 5208.42.50.00, specifically classifies woven fabrics of cotton that meet precise yarn count criteria. To fall within this classification, the fabric must contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, not exceed 200 g/m² in weight, and be constructed from yarns of different colors. Furthermore, it must be of a plain weave, weigh more than 100 g/m², and crucially, utilize yarns of number 69 or higher on the standardized cotton count system.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings based on the yarn count. While 5208.42.30.00 covers fabrics with yarns of number 42 or lower, and 5208.42.40.00 encompasses yarns from numbers 43 to 68, this category is reserved for fabrics employing finer yarns, specifically those numbered 69 and above. This distinction is significant as it reflects differences in yarn fineness and manufacturing processes.

As a leaf node within the HTS, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification under 5208.42.50.00 lies in confirming the material composition (85% or more cotton by weight), fabric weight (not more than 200 g/m²), weave type (plain weave), specific weight bracket (more than 100 g/m²), and the precise yarn count range (number 69 or higher) of the constituent yarns.
