5208.49.40.10 - Oxford cloth (218)

This category specifically classifies Oxford cloth woven from cotton yarns of different colors. To fall under this heading, the fabric must contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight and weigh no more than 200 grams per square meter. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the construction and appearance of Oxford cloth, which typically features a basket weave structure where two warp threads are interlaced with two weft threads, creating a distinctive, slightly pebbled surface.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 5208.49.40.20 covers Jacquard woven fabrics, which utilize complex looms to create intricate patterns, a distinct weaving method from the simpler basket weave of Oxford cloth. The sibling category 5208.49.40.90, "Other," serves as a residual category for fabrics of different colored yarns that do not fit the specific definitions of Oxford cloth or Jacquard woven fabrics within this sub-heading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is determined by the specific characteristics of Oxford cloth that meet the preceding criteria, focusing on its material composition, weight, and distinctive weave structure as applied to fabrics woven from yarns of different colors.
