5208.49.60 - Of numbers 43 to 68

This HTS category, 5208.49.60, specifically classifies "Other" woven fabrics of cotton that contain 85 percent or more by weight of cotton and do not exceed 200 g/m² in weight. Crucially, these fabrics are characterized by being woven from yarns of different colors and fall within a specific numerical range of yarn counts, defined as "Of numbers 43 to 68." This means the fineness of the cotton yarn used dictates its placement within this specific subcategory.

The distinction from its siblings lies solely in the yarn count. Category 5208.49.40 covers similar fabrics made with yarns of a count 42 or lower, while 5208.49.80 encompasses those with yarns of count 69 or higher. Therefore, the primary classification criterion here is the specific range of yarn fineness, denoted by the number, for these dyed-in-the-yarn woven cotton fabrics.

Within this classification, two primary subcategories exist to further refine the classification. 5208.49.60.10 specifically identifies "Oxford cloth," a distinct weave pattern often associated with this yarn count range. The remaining fabrics falling under this numerical range but not meeting the specific definition of Oxford cloth are classified under 5208.49.60.90, as "Other." This subdivision allows for precise identification of commonly traded textile items while retaining a residual category for less common or varietal fabrics within the defined parameters.
