5208.49.40.90 - Other (218) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5208.49.40.90, covers woven fabrics of cotton where cotton constitutes 85% or more by weight and the fabric does not exceed 200 g/m². Specifically, it falls under "other fabrics" within the "of yarns of different colors" subgroup, and further within "other" under the "other fabrics" category. This means the fabric is not a plain weave, twill, or sateen weave, nor is it printed.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, 5208.49.40.10 (Oxford cloth) and 5208.49.40.20 (Jacquard woven), consider the specific weave structure. Oxford cloth is characterized by its basket weave structure. Jacquard woven fabrics are identified by their complex, often pictorial, designs created through a specialized loom mechanism. This category, 5208.49.40.90, encompasses woven cotton fabrics of different colored yarns that do not fit these specific weave patterns or are not printed.

As a leaf node, this classification represents the most granular level of detail for this particular set of cotton woven fabrics. Classification within this code relies on the absence of the specific characteristics defined by the sibling categories and a lack of printing. Therefore, the primary criteria for inclusion here are the material composition (at least 85% cotton by weight), the weight constraint (not exceeding 200 g/m²), the use of yarns of different colors to create the fabric's pattern or appearance, and a weave structure that is neither Oxford nor Jacquard, and the fabric is not printed.
