Overview

This HTS category, 5208.49.60.10, specifically classifies Oxford cloth that meets the general criteria of woven cotton fabrics. These fabrics must contain 85 percent or more cotton by weight and weigh no more than 200 g/m². Furthermore, they are characterized by the use of yarns of different colors, creating a distinct visual pattern, and fall under the "other fabrics" designation within this broader group, as they are not of the Jacquard woven type.

The distinction between this HTS code and its sibling, 5208.49.60.90, lies in the specific nature of the Oxford cloth. While both are woven cotton fabrics of different colored yarns and fall under the "other fabrics" category, 5208.49.60.10 is reserved for Oxford cloth that also conforms to the "Of numbers 43 to 68" designation, indicating specific yarn counts or thread densities that differentiate it from the more general "Other" classification.

As a leaf node, this classification represents a final, specific entry within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule for this particular type of Oxford cloth. Therefore, the primary focus for accurate classification here is to ensure the fabric precisely matches the described characteristics: being Oxford cloth, composed of 85% or more cotton by weight, not exceeding 200 g/m², utilizing yarns of different colors, and fitting the "other fabrics" and "Of numbers 43 to 68" criteria, thereby distinguishing it from any broader or alternative classifications.
