5208.49.20.00 - Satin weave or twill weave (218)

This HTS classification covers woven cotton fabrics that are characterized by their construction in a satin weave or a twill weave, provided these fabrics contain at least 85% cotton by weight and do not exceed 200 grams per square meter. The defining feature of fabrics within this category is the use of yarns of different colors, resulting in patterned or multi-toned fabrics. This distinction is crucial, as it differentiates these fabrics from those woven using yarns of a single color.

Within the broader category of "Other fabrics" of yarns of different colors, this specific classification is further delineated by its weave structure. While other "Other fabrics" at this level might include different weaves or constructions using multi-colored yarns, this node specifically targets those exhibiting the characteristic interlacing patterns of satin or twill weaves. The (218) notation within the description likely refers to a specific statistical suffix or descriptor used in trade statistics to further refine the data for this particular group of fabrics.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into HTS 5208.49.20.00 hinges on the precise identification of a satin or twill weave in a cotton fabric meeting the weight and color yarn criteria. Examples include specific types of chambray, gabardine, or other patterned weaves where the color variation originates from the yarns themselves, rather than from printing or dyeing after weaving.
